Hello everyone!
I am Mrs. Nilo and I am the Behavioral Health Counselor at our new HDPA Wellness Center. I enjoy working with students to help them reach their greatest potential and become successful individuals. My favorite hobbies are swimming and jogging. I destress by watching movies, going on walks, and reading. I believe in equity and building strong support systems for our students so that they can succeed in a healthy social emotional environment. Come and visit your Wellness Center in Rm 2.
