Meet your Counselors

About Mrs. Hettich...

I ♥ our Baby Bengals!! This is my 25th year as a counselor at Willow Springs Elementary. I am so fortunate to be a part of this wonderful school family! I grew up in southern Virginia and graduated from NC State University with degrees in Communication and Psychology. After a brief career in television news, I decided to pursue my true passion of working with children. Upon earning a Master's in School Counseling at UNC-Chapel Hill, I accepted a counseling position at WSES and have been here ever since!! My top priority is helping our Baby Bengals feel connected, confident, and safe while reaching their personal, social, and academic goals.

Please send me an email : khettich@wcpss.net if I can help you or your child in any way!

♥ Looking forward to an AMAZING 2025-26 school year!!♥

About Mr. Diaz...

Hello Baby Bengals! I'm so grateful to be your new School Counselor at Willow Springs Elementary School. I recently moved to North Carolina from New Jersey with my wife and our teenage boys. We are thrilled to join this wonderful community.

I received my Masters in School Counseling from Monmouth University in 2021 and spent the last three years as a School Counselor at a Middle School in New Jersey. Prior to becoming a School Counselor, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Arts from Brooklyn College and worked as a special events manager at a creative firm in NYC. I'm excited to assist your students in reaching their academic and social and emotional goals. Please feel free to send me an email at: ediaz3@wcpss.net if I can be of assistance to you or your students.

We ❤ Baby Bengals!!
