Meet Your Counselors

I was born and raised in Norway. After high school I moved to New York where I attended college and graduate school to become a school counselor. I moved to Washington in 1996 and worked in the Snohomish school district for several years. I started working as a school counselor at Cascade in 2006. The middle school years are very important developmentally and academically and it's exciting to be part of a team that helps our students go from childhood to young adulthood. I love working at Cascade because I am always learning something new from students and families, and I get to work with the school's amazing staff. Outside of school I enjoy being a mom, spending time with my family, cooking and traveling.
