Counseling Department Staff
Mrs. Franklin: K-6 Student Support
This is my tenth year in education. I have taught in 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades during my career.
I am married and have two wonderful children who attend East Mills Elementary. My family and I moved to Malvern in 2021. I enjoy spending time outside hiking, biking, or just playing with my family. I am also an avid reader.
My role is in Elementary Student Support. I work with students and families to support students academically and emotionally. I also teach social and emotional learning classes to all students in grades Pre-K through 5. I love what I do and love working with students to help them be successful.
Mrs. Linke: 6-12 School Counselor
I have been working with children and families for over 35 years and in education for 25 years. My husband is the Director of DC and Fleet Operations at Earl May in Shenandoah. We live on a farm and raise cattle, corn and soybeans. We have two kids - our son and daughter-in-law are both instrumental music teachers and keep busy with their three boys and our daughter is a science teacher who also raises meat sheep, chickens, and Kune Kune pigs. I love to spend time outdoors and hanging with my family. I'm always up for an adventure.
As the 6-12 School Counselor, I help students with academic planning, career pathways, and post high school plans including navigating tech programs and colleges.
