Terry Foytek

My name is Terry Foytek, and as an experienced school counselor (24 years) in grades EC-8th, I am interested in school counselor positions that will allow me to reach all students to help them grow academically, vocationally, and social-emotionally. During my time as a school counselor, I have had the opportunity to work with many students and families with diverse backgrounds, cultures, needs, and skills, and pride myself in the ability to create an environment that is supportive and inclusive of all. In my time away from work, I love to swim and go camping with my family.
