Hello! My name is Jacob Heddinger and I am the school counselor at Hanawalt Elementary. This is my 3rd year in the district, and my 8th year overall as a counselor. I received my BA in Psychology from the University of Northern Iowa before receiving my MS in School Counseling from Drake University. I love being a school counselor! Outside of school I enjoy spending time with family, reading books and watching movies.
Hi! My name is Tara Misra, and I went to the University of California in Santa Cruz for my BS and then got a Masters in Education from Baylor University. I was a Montessori teacher for 15 years and then decided to return to school to become a school psychologist. I received a Specialist in School Psychology from Louisiana State University in Shreveport. My family moved to Iowa in 2017, and I enjoy the colder weather. I enjoy listening to music, drinking coffee, and advocating for students.
