Staff Profile

My name is Vanessa Amaya and I am the School Counselor at Frost Lake Elementary.  This is my seventh year in the district and my fourth year at Frost Lake.  I am really proud and excited to be a part of such an amazing learning community. 

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin- Madison with a Bachelors degree in Human Development & Family Studies and received my Masters degree in Counseling & Student Personnel Psychology from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. 

I currently live in New Brighton with my husband, Henrry and 2 kids, Ariana (6 years old) and Benjamin (5 years old).  When I am not working, I love traveling with my family, cooking, running, reading and dancing.
