About our Guidance Counselor:

Hello, my name is Sheilah and I have an MS in Community Counseling from Seattle Pacific University. My background includes working as a college instructor, guidance counselor, clinical supervisor, and group home coordinator. Currently, I am teaching in the REACH program as well as online for Trinity International University and help with guidance counseling at Christian Liberty Academy. I have worked in the university environment for 10 years.

Personally, two of my main priorities and joys are my kiddos, Micaiah (16, girl) and Elijah (13). I home school my daughter and we have been involved in many outside groups, including coordinating a tutoring/after school program for a low income apartment community. My son attends middle school and loves to play football and rugby. My kids and I live in the Chicago area which has the best pizza in the world! We have also lived in Seattle, Florida, and Colorado. I love to hike, read, and snuggle with my kids. Knowing, following, and serving Christ is the goal of my life. My favorite verse is Isaiah 43:3:

"For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place."
