Ms. Fiess - Gifted & Talented Counselor
Hello! I am Lisa Fiess and I joined the Jefferson County Gifted and Talented Department seven years ago as a GT social emotional learning counselor, with the goal of supporting the affective needs of our gifted learners. I currently split my time between two GT Center programs: Ken Caryl MS and Kendrick Lakes ES, where I proactively counsel students and am a resource for staff and parents. I will be at KCMS on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the school year. I am excited to be a part of the KCMS counseling team and look forward to supporting out gifted students through their middle school years. When I am not at one of my three schools, you can find me hiking in the mountains or on the sidelines at a sporting event for two kids of my own.

Ms. Terrell - 8th Grade Counselor
Hello! I am the 7th grade counselor and I could not be happier to be working at KCMS! I came from an online school where I worked with high school students. I have been in the middle school for the past 3 years, and I am loving it. I have been a school counselor for eleven years now and I believe strongly in the work that I do to help raise and support my students to reach their highest selves. At home I stay busy with two children of my own and three pets; never a dull moment. For fun I love to swim, sing, cook, garden, read, and anything that puts me near the ocean! Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime should questions or concerns arise. I very much look forward to working with you and your student this year.

Hi Spartans! My name is Olivia Van Hook and I am the 8th grade counselor. Before entering the counseling world, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education at Kansas State University, and then came back to my home state to pursue my Master's Degree in School Counseling from the University of Colorado Denver.
