Please join me in welcoming or welcoming back the members of our counseling team:

Susie Brown (Last Names A – D) susie.brown@mercerislandschools.org

With three decades of experience as a MI counselor, Susie is well known on The
Island for her diligent and individualized care for students. Her experience with our
school provides our entire team with the perspective of the successes and struggles
of MI students through time and serves as a bridge between the traditions within
our school and those onboarding.

Anam Schlueter (Last Names (E-J) anam.schlueter@mercerislandschools.org

Coming to MI from Mt. Vernon, Anam possesses a wealth of life experiences and
expertise in working with people experiencing trauma, as well as finding individual
post-secondary connections for students. Speaking five languages, Anam is a lifelong learner, who brings that energy to her school. Her past co-workers describe her as “simply amazing”.

James Tanksley (Last Names K – M) james.tanksley@mercerislandschools.org

After serving in Federal Way through the epidemic and leading their counseling
department through this time, James brings particular skills to the wide array of functions of school counselor. Above all, James brings deep care for the well-
being of students and has the skills to support them in our environment of high expectations.

Molly Smith (Last Names N – Si) molly.smith@mercerislandschools.org

Moving cross country from Newport, New Hampshire, Molly brings expertise
with high school scheduling, college admissions testing, and a wide array of
student learning styles over many grade levels. Her previous colleagues
describe her as honest, direct, and always caring for the best interest of her
students. Her experience with diverse high school learners also stands out.

Katy Johnson (Last Names Sj – Z) katy.johnson@mercerislandschools.org

Arriving from Waukesha Wisconsin, Katy brings experience in supporting
the community at Waukesha South High School following the tragedy they
experienced this past year. Well beyond that experience, Kay develops fun
and supportive relationships with her students. Her families have
appreciated the holistic care from SEL support to academic counseling. As a
recent recipient of her Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University
of Wisconsin, she also has insight into what it means to be a student
through this time.

For those concerned with the continuity of service with a new counselor, please know that Associate Principals Erica Hill (A-I), Nick Wold (J – R), and Lisa Deen (S – Z) will continue to support the same cohort of students and partner regularly with counselors serving students under their mutual care.

To support the work of our counselors, the MI Counseling Team includes:

Monica Moline (Registrar) monica.moline@mercerislandschools.org

As a parent to MIHS graduates and with extensive experience in office
management, sales, and as an executive assistant, Monica brings a unique
combination of prerequisite skills and an understanding of the needs of our
students and the community.

Lisa Jandusay (Office Assistant) lisa.jandusay@mercerislandschools.org

Returning this year and after years of service in parochial schools, Lisa’s warm approach combined with her already significant knowledge of our students, provides a caring
persona with care to our counseling center.

Kyle Mosler (Office Assistant) kyle.mosler@mercerislandschools.org

While Kyle continues to serve in his part-time role of MI Drill and Dance Team
Director, he now comes to us full time to support the needs of students, particularly
through college admissions. Along with Lisa, their welcoming presence and
connection with students create a great environment within the center.

Debbie Hanson (Testing Coordinator) debbie.hanson@mercerislandschools.org

Debbie continues to serve in so many ways at MI. Her intelligence, flexibility, and
organization have supported many classes of graduates with testing needs and well
beyond. Debbie has served as a substitute counselor for two counselors over the
past few years and always shows the ability to find student and family needs and to
connect them with answers.
