About Erin
My name is Erin Norden and I am the counselor at Springwater Trail High School. Before transitioning into the counselor role, I was the attendance/counseling secretary for three and a half years, so I really love this school! I graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in International Studies and a minor in Political Science. I received my School Counseling Graduate Degree at Lewis & Clark College. In my free time I enjoy camping, eating, traveling and learning.
Springwater has an extremely special place in my heart already. This small community that is dedicated to students and the success of everyone who walks through our door means a lot, especially after experiencing the isolation that came with the peak of the pandemic. I am ready to be there for you and your students in this new role. Please reach out with any questions, concerns, and inquiries. I am always available to meet in-person, virtually, through the telephone or via email.
Mi nombre es Erin Norden y soy la consejera de Springwater Trail High School. Antes de asumir el rol de consejera, fui la secretaria de asistencia y consejera durante tres años y medio. ¡Soy muy apasionada por mi carrera y la comunidad de Springwater. Me gradué de la Universidad de Oregon con un título en Estudios Internacionales y una especialización en Ciencias Políticas. Actualmente, finalice mi maestría en la universidad de Lewis & Clark en el verano de 2023. En mi tiempo libre, disfruto del camping, la buena comida, los viajes y el aprendizaje.
Springwater tiene un lugar muy especial en mi corazón. Esta pequeña comunidad, comprometida con los estudiantes y el éxito de todas las personas que cruzan nuestras puertas, significa mucho para mí, especialmente después de la experiencia de aislamiento que vivimos durante la pandemia. Estoy lista para apoyarte a ti y a tus estudiantes en este curso como consejera. Por favor, no dudes en contactarme si tienes preguntas, preocupaciones o consultas. Estoy disponible tanto en persona como de manera virtual, por teléfono o correo electrónico.
Quedo a tu disposición y espero poder trabajar juntos en esta nueva etapa.
