Ms. Mullan
Degrees and Certifications:
Bachelor of Science- Elementary Education
Masters of Science in Education- School Counseling
I am passionate about school counseling! I started as the school counselor at Eastern Heights Elementary in the Fall of 2016. I currently live in Birchwood with my husband, son, and dog. My love for working with children started early. Growing up, I babysat, tutored, coached, and spent summers as a camp counselor. I received my undergraduate degree from Saint Cloud State University in Elementary Education. After a few years of teaching, I went back to pursue my Master's degree in School Counseling. I was a school counselor at the high school level for 3 years and I am thrilled to be working with elementary students again. My goal as a school counselor is to give my students the necessary tools to help empower them to be successful in their academics, as well as their personal and social lives. I want my students and their parents to know that my door is always open. Feel free to contact me anytime with any questions or concerns. I look forward to a wonderful school year!
