From your friendly neighborhood counselor

By -


Hello, I'm Leonie Sagun, school counselor for 20 years but have worked for the Department of Education for 29 years. I started as a school social worker and now as a school counselor. I really love working with students because I am able to support them in every aspect of their school life. The best part though was working with my credit recovery adult students because I was able to assist them in getting their diplomas! This is success when you know you have helped them get their diplomas so that they can further their careers whether to apply for a higher education at GCC or UOG or workforce!

Technology is essential in my career because we are now in the digital age! As a school counselor, we also provide lesson plans and go in the classroom. Part of that job is to ensure we are up to date with latest technology because technology is a TOOL!
