Kara Pawlusiak
I was born and raised in Vermont. I graduated from Burlington High School, St. Michael's College and the University of Vermont. I enjoy being active, I like to run and cross-country ski. Some of my other interests include cooking&baking, reading good books and spending time with my friends and family. I also love to travel. Some of my favorite adventures include traveling to Caribbean islands and attending the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Prior to becoming a school counselor I had worked with youth in a variety of settings. My favorite place being at Camp Walt Whitman in Piermont, NH. It was my experience working as a camp counselor that opened the door to my career as a school counselor.

Hello! My name is Cori Giroux-Williams and I am so excited to be a School Counselor at Colchester Middle School. I have been working with middle school students in Vermont for the past 8 years, in both mainstream and alternative school settings. I grew up in Plattsburgh NY and graduated from Siena College and Loyola University in Baltimore. I love hanging out with my family, being outdoors, gardening, hiking, and long dog walks. I also enjoy athletics, coaching basketball and soccer.
As a School Counselor, my approach with students comes from a place of kindness, compassion, and humor. This can be a time of great change, exploration, and growth as each student is developing their own sense of identity and self-worth. I focus on building trusting, meaningful relationships while supporting students as they navigate the transitions of middle school.
I look forward to connecting with parents and families in the Colchester community. All questions, big or small, are important. Please feel free to contact me at anytime.
