School Counselors

Sue Petela 

I have been working as a school counselor for Sanborn Regional School District at the middle school and  then the elementary level since 2001.  I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Secondary Education at Saint Anselm College, where I played soccer and continued to pursue my love for sports through coaching at all age levels.  I went on to complete a Masters Degree for  Counseling at the University of New Hampshire and worked in residential treatment homes and as a case reviewer for the Division of Youth and Family Services.
