<h2>Meet Our Special Educator of the Month </h2>
<p>At Cross Country Education, we’re honored to work with the best of the 
    best from across the nation! We take great pride in their shared passion 
    for helping students succeed, and we love passing along their insight to 
    inspire others interested in this rewarding field. This month, we’re 
    spotlighting an amazing DIS Counselor, Brooke D.
</p>
<p> Here’s why Brooke decided to become a counselor, what she enjoys most 
    about working with the Cross Country Education team and schools, and what 
    advice she has for school psychologists just embarking on their careers.
</p>
<h3>Why did you become a counselor?</h3>
<p>I love helping students realize their goals, and how their personal, social, 
    emotional, and academic goals can align. I also love seeing those "AHA!" 
    moments when things begin to click - I live for seeing those lightbulbs 
    turn on!
</p>

<h3>What do you like about Cross Country Education?</h3>
<p>I absolutely love working for Cross Country Education because of the 
    amazing support I receive from my Team Lead and colleagues, as well 
    as the freedom and autonomy to create my own path within my career.
</p>

<h3>What have you liked about your experience working at CCE schools? </h3>
<p> I have loved every single one of my school sites. Being able to work 
    with such a wide population and age range (K-12) has made me such a better 
    counselor and has taught me so much about flexibility and the needs of different 
    age groups in today’s world.
</p>

<h3>What kind of advice would you give to someone starting out in your field?</h3>
<p>My best piece of advice is to be patient and kind (to yourself and others), 
    stay empathetic, and know that you will be great as long as you truly care - 
    it is a helping profession, after all! Also, do not forget to practice self-love 
    and care as often as possible!
