A little about your
School counselors
Hi! I am Michelle Bocock and I am one of Daughtrey's School Counselors.
I was born and raised in Sarasota, FL, and even attended some Manatee County Schools.
My Bachelor's degree is from Eastern Mennonite University and my Master of Education in School Counseling is from James Madison University; both schools are in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with my husband Tyler and son Brooks, playing with my dog Reece, going to the beach for sunset, word games, and eating Chick-Fil-A.
At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel. - Maya Angelou
