Counselor



Hi! My name is Debbie Daniel. I am the new counselor at Buda Elementary. Before coming to Buda, I worked as a school counselor in Gonzales, Texas where I served East Avenue Primary School and the alternative campus. I graduated from Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas and taught for fifteen years in the classroom, mostly PK/K ESL. I then graduated with my Master's degree in Counseling from Tarleton State University and began a three-year internship to obtain my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor). I went back into the school system in Gonzales last year, and am now very excited to be given the opportunity to become a part of Buda Elementary.

I live in Wimberley, Texas, along with my daughter, Lisa, age 30, son, Michael, age 23, and youngest, Blane, age 17. Michael and his beautiful wife, Ashley, have blessed me with an incredible granddaughter, Kaylin. I enjoy cooking, traveling, watching football (especially the Pittsburg Steelers), and playing with my grandbaby.

Thank you for the opportunity to get to know you and your children. Please feel free to email me at danield@hayscisd.net or call the Buda Elementary School. My extension is 6743.
