About Haruka Hirata

I am a graduate student at Austin Peay State University studying School Counseling. I have developed excellent analytical and leadership skills through my degree, as well as key active listening and communication skills through my previous job at Franklin Elementary School as a school counselor. I am also able to develop effective time management throughout the school year by working as a teaching assistant as well as a student. Throughout my graduate studies, I was able to bring a year of success in each level of the school system (Elementary, Middle, High School) as an intern. My determination and dedication are highlighted by my achievement of the Appalachian Athletic Conference Women’s Tennis Player of the Week title.

As a school counselor, I would like to aid youth and adults in overcoming academic, social, college, career, and mental health challenges to realize individual strengths and success. Thus, I look forward in improving my skills through careers related to counseling.
