About Your School Counselor
Hi everyone! My name is Ms. Samantha Gizel, “Ms. Sam” to my younger kiddos and Ms. Gizel to my “too kewl for skewl” crew. ;)
I am from chicago, Illinois but moved to Missouri about 5 years ago, I have three children and two smooshie rottweilers.
I graduated with my Master of Education in K-12 School Counseling from the University of Missouri in December 2023.
I am an artist. My favorite color is purple, and my favorite food is cake! I love nature walks with my family and reading.
