Where in the World is Mrs. Kennedy?
Discovery Ridge Counselor News & Notes - Week of Feb. 8th
Meet Ms. Muertz
Hello!
My name is Emily Muertz, and I am the M.Ed. school counseling intern working under Erika Kennedy until the beginning of May 2016 when I plan to graduate from the University of Missouri - Saint Louis. My previous counseling internships were at Lafayette Preparatory Academy (K-3) and Metro Academic & Classical High School (9-12). Currently I work full-time as an Academic Advisor at Southwestern Illinois College, but before advising I substitute taught for the Waterloo and Valmeyer School District in Illinois. My undergraduate degree is in radiology and psychology. After graduation I am invited to serve in the Philippines as a Youth Development Facilitator!
I enjoy working with children, learning about culture/language, and spending time outside and with my family. I am thrilled (and fortunate!) to be at Discovery Ridge Elementary/Frontier Middle School this semester and want to thank you everyone for welcoming me so warmly to Discovery Ridge. I'm eager to work with you all!
