Hello! I'm Ms. Matter, the full-time School Counselor at Global Arts Plus Upper Campus. I have been part of the Global Arts Plus team since 2016 when I started at the Lower Campus. I moved to the Upper Campus in Fall of 2018.  I enjoy being part of the wonderful community that Global Arts offers!

When I'm not being a School Counselor I enjoy reading, cooking, and spending time with my husband and daughter. 

I'm available to connect Monday - Friday from 9:15-4:15.
