Ms. Julie Furr, MA, NBCT
Elementary School Counselor
I am so excited to be at North Academy of World Languages this year to start my 16th year of school counseling! I will be working with K through 4th grade students this year! I have been in this area since 2000 (I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and graduated from Penn State) but worked 9 of my counseling years in a different county...I am so happy to be at NAWL!
When I am not at school, I enjoy reading, hiking, or hanging out with my husband, Brad, and my three big kids (ages 27, 25, and 21). If you have any questions or concerns you can reach me at: JulieAFurr@cms.k12.nc.us or 980-343-0743.
Ms. Joanne Anderson, M.A, GCSL

My name is Joanne Anderson, and I am excited to start my fourth year at NAWL, and my 27th year in public education. I received my B.A. in English and Secondary Education from Pfeiffer University, my M.A. in Counseling from UNCC, and a Graduate Certificate in School Leadership from Appalachian State. I have served as a school counselor in the elementary, middle and alternative school settings from the past 22 years. I began my career as a high school English teacher. My professional interests include play therapy, trauma-informed schools and restorative practices in the school setting. I have been married for 22 years, and am the proud mother of two (almost grown) boys. If you have any questions or concerns you can reach me at:joanneb.anderson@cms.k12.nc.us or 980-343-0743.
