Counselors
Ms. Sara Mrozowsky: High School Counselor
Hello all! I graduated from Baker College in the spring of 2008 and that fall started my first teaching job as a Computer Science teacher. I taught Computers for three years and then took a year off so I could finish my masters. I graduated from Oakland University in 2012 with a Mental Health counseling degree. For the last two years I have been working as a Registrar in a small private school. I am now looking forward to starting my new adventure at MGLVA.
I am an avid reader and it is not uncommon to find me curled up in my favorite chair with my dog on my lap reading an e-book. |
Mrs. Kara Showerman: High School CounselorHi everyone! I grew up in Detroit, MI, where I lived for 18 years. I currently reside in Frankenmuth with my husband, Scott, and our dog Fudge. We have two children, Taylor, 21, and Luke,18.
I have worked in education for almost 15 years as a special education teacher and counselor. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Oakland University, my teacher certification from Saginaw Valley, and my master’s in school counseling from CMU. Ask me about college-I have tried lots of them! In my spare time I enjoy things like working in my garden and canning lots of things, riding my bike, traveling (especially near water) and cooking for family and friends. |
