Hello - My name is Krista and am a high school counselor in Sioux City, IA. This is my second year working for the district. Prior to working for Sioux City Schools, I was a high school counselor in a small district. I love working in a bigger school as I work alongside a team of counselors that serve over 1200 students. It's nice to bounce ideas off of each other. I have two children, one in high school and one will graduate from college this May. I am excited to take this course to add additional "tools" to my teaching/counseling box. Outside of my work world, I enjoy spending time with my family and from time to time crocheting.
