    Hi! I have been an educator in Baldwin County since 2008 and school counselor at Daphne High School since 2017.  I earned a Bachelor's degree in Public Relations and Journalism from Troy University and Master's degrees in Elementary Education and School Counseling from the University of South Alabama.  Prior to entering the education field, I worked in public relations and event planning for the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Campus Card Users.

    I am Shea Maurin and am excited to return to Daphne High School!  I am transitioning from 28 years in the classroom to serving as the “P-Z” school counselor.  I taught in private school before teaching Spanish at Daphne from 2000-2005!  I have spent the last 18 years teaching at Foley High School.  My husband and I have three children and enjoy traveling from college football games to watch our son perform in the marching band, to college softball games to watch our older daughter play and look forward to watching the youngest play volleyball in the fall at a new school!  I am excited about this new chapter and look forward to returning to where it started in Baldwin County!  Go Trojans!
