    Mrs. Franklin

    I am proudly serving Odell Primary and Odell Elementary Schools' students and their families. As a school social worker in Cabarrus County Schools, having positive relationships with students and their families is important to nurturing their social emotional development. As a school social worker, I work with students and families to provide various community resources as well as with students in the educational setting on interventions that focus on social emotional learning.

    I have worked for Cabarrus County Schools for 10+ years.
