π STAFF HIGHLIGHT: MEET MRS. COLBY NILSEN! π
With 16 years in education and now in her second year at Odyssey Online Learning, Mrs. Colby Nilsen serves our students and families as our Middle School Counselor, and she also leads OOL's Community Outreach. π
For Mrs. Nilsen, being a school counselor is all about meeting students where they are and partnering with families to help them grow - both academically and personally. One of her biggest pieces of advice for students is to create a daily routine, stay organized, and never be afraid to ask for help! ππ
This year, sheβs especially excited about connecting with students through field trips, community events, and our monthly Middle School Career CafΓ©s! π
And hereβs a fun fact you may not know: Mrs. Nilsen was a competitive dancer until she was 20! π These days, she also enjoys playing games, reading, and spending time on the lake with friends and family. βοΈπ
Weβre grateful to have Mrs. Nilsen supporting, encouraging, and connecting with our Middle School students and families!
