Meet the Counselor

Hello Falcon Families! 

My name is Irma Hernandez, and I am the school counselor at Fielder Elementary. This is my 10th year in education and my first year as a school counselor. I recently graduated from SHSU with my Master's in school counseling and LPC. Prior to my current role, I was a reading academic support teacher for two years and a 4th grade reading teacher for 7 years. 

I am so excited to join the Falcon family and support our students with all their social, emotional, and behavioral needs. During my time in education, I have learned that building relationships with students and giving them time and space to express themselves is the best avenue for growth. Mental health has always been a passion of mine, and I can't wait to begin to build relationships with students, staff, and parents. 

During the school day, you can find me checking in on students, giving guidance lessons, and running small groups. In my free time, I enjoy reading, nature walks, traveling, and playing tennis. 

To schedule a meeting with me, please make an appointment by email or phone. 

I look forward to a great school year!
