Hello! My name is Taylor Smith, and I am so excited to be starting my second year as school counselor at Cottondale Elementary! I graduated from the University of Alabama in 2017 with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Social Work. In May of 2021, I graduated from the University of Montevallo with a Master's degree in School Counseling. Prior to coming to Cottondale, I worked for a local nonprofit for four years and loved getting to connect with local resources and people in our community. I am married to Cody, and we have a sweet puppy named Rookie. I am looking forward to a great year!
