Merrill Davis, Counselor, M.Ed.
April Daw, Counselor, M.Ed., Business Administration/Education, B.A., NBCT = I am so happy to be here with you at Beddingfield as one of your school counselors. This is my 17th year in education. I have been a counselor now for almost eight years. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was a CTE teacher for nine years. I was teacher of the year as well as CTE teacher of the year for the county. Before moving into the education world, I worked as a quality assurance systems analyst, testing programs for computer programmers. I also owned my own business for 5 years. I married my high school sweetheart, Troy Daw and we have two children and three pets. My husband Troy, has his own excavation business. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration/Education at NC Wesleyan and my Master’s degree in Counseling at East Carolina University. I am also National Boards certified. My objective is to help you achieve all of your High School goals and prepare you for the best future possible! Don’t stress over the little things and don’t worry about things that have not happened yet. This year I will be working with 9th and 12th grades to help you with any school or personal issues that you may face. You can reach me in Student Services or e-mail me @ [email protected]
