Meet the Counselors

 Tricia Nahlik--Kindergarten and 2nd Grade

I have been a counselor at Festus Elementary for 16 years.  I have a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from UMSL, a Master's Degree in Counseling from Missouri Baptist University, and a Psychological Examiner Certification from Missouri Baptist University.  I am originally from Arnold, but I have been living in the Festus area for the last 17 years with my husband, Jason and our three kids. I love our community and am gratefully for the opportunity to work with your child!

Angie Eisenbeis--Kindergarten and 1st Grades

Hi!  My name is Angie Eisenbeis.  I have been in education for 25 years.  I first started out as a sixth grade teacher at the Middle School teaching Math and Science.  I then started working on my Master Degree in Counseling.  While doing that, I worked as the Title I Math teacher and also the 3rd Grade Counselor.  When I finished my Master's degree, I became a full time counselor at the elementary.  I love what I do!  Everyday is different, and the kids are great to be with!  I attended Jefferson College and them transferred to Southeast Missouri State where I obtained my Bachelor and Master's degrees.   I have a daughter, Jenna, who just graduated college.  I have a little Maltese named Charlie.  He is fourteen years old and only weighs 5 pounds.  In my free time, you'll find me hanging with my family, reading, or maybe doing some yoga.   I love Festus schools and I hope to be here until I retire!

Kami Johnson--Kindergarten and 3rd Grade

I have been a school counselor for 11 years, 8 years at DeSoto and this will be my third year at Festus.  I have a Bachelor's Degree in Behavioral Science from Missouri Baptist, a Master's Degree in Counseling from Missouri Baptist University, and a Psychological Examiner Certification from Missouri Baptist University.  I am married to my husband Keith and we have two children, Kegan in 4th grade and Kendahl is a sophomore.  I am very excited to be apart of the Festus community and build a relationship with your child!
