I'm Nancy Stevens, counselor at Northwood Hills. My business is helping children to be their best at NHE.

I graduated from The University of North Texas with a bachelor's degree in English and a Master's in Guidance/Counseling. I have had the privilege of teaching in RISD for more than 30 years: the first 17 years at West Jr. High as a seventh and eighth grade English teacher and the rest of the years as NHE's counselor. No matter where I go - to Tom Thumb, the bank, or hiking in the Rockies - I CONSTANTLY and JOYFULLY run into one of my former students - What a delight!!!

My family consists of an artistic husband, Hank, who is building houses in Fredericksburg and Mason, Texas, an extremely creative son, Andrew, a recent graduate of UT and presently living in NYC with a job in advertising and a lovely musical daughter, Casey, a junior music/elementary education major at Baylor. We love traveling in Fredericksburg, Colorado, and Florida, watching movies, and visiting museums. We are constantly entertained and loved by our two kitties, Tex and Banjo.

My favorite counselor jobs are listening to children, working with mediators, and Kids' Connection groups. This summer's training for the AVID Institute has me on fire for guiding children to find their passion and path toward college.  I love my job most because I'm hugged by hundreds of nurtured, well-educated children every day. What a gift!
