Hello everyone! I am Katie Pannell and I am so excited to be a bobcat for this school year! I grew up in Durango, Colorado and spent a lot of time with family in Ignacio and I couldn't be happier about working here. I graduated from Fort Lewis College in 2019 and my Masters of Counselor Education from Adams State University in 2022. After I graduated from Fort Lewis College I spent some time in China as and English as a foreign language teacher to kids between the ages of 3-15. When I got back I wanted to continue my passion for working in schools and entered Ignacio School District as a paraprofessional then school counselor. I have two pets a cat, Stella and a dog, Mila. My favorite activity in the world is going on walks with Mila or taking naps. I am looking forward to getting to know you this year!
