Counseling
Williams Counselor's Corner
Hello! My name is Bethany Godinez. I am the new school counselor at M.D. Williams Elementary School! I am embarking on my twenty-third year in education, and am eager to meet you all. My role at Williams is to ensure that our students thrive socially, emotionally, personally, and academically. I have my Bachelor of Science (BS) in Interdisciplinary Studies, with a specialization in reading. My Master of Arts (MA) is in School Counseling.
I am the proud mom of a twenty-two-year-old son who currently serves in the United States Marine Corps. I also teach Pilates when I am not at Williams Elementary.
I am excited to be here! I am eager to meet our students and families, and I am proud to be a M.D. Williams Elementary Panther!
