My name is Danielle Baird and I look forward to working with you as your school counselor at Maricopa Wells Middle School. My role is to assist MWMS students with their academic, career and social/emotional development.  I have been working as a school counselor in the Maricopa Unified School District since 2014 and am a resident of our great City of Maricopa. Originally from New Jersey, I have a dual Bachelor's degree in Psychology/Justice Studies and my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology specializing in School Counseling and Mental Health. I have worked previously in the juvenile justice system, child welfare and social service fields. Before I transferred to Maricopa Wells Middle School, I have served at both Maricopa High School as well as Desert Wind Middle School.  I greatly enjoy working with our students and families to help build our beautiful community.
