Good Day! My name is Risa Williamson. I am the K-8 School Guidance Counselor for
CJ Elementary and the Middle Schools. I grew up in Green Bay, WI. I received a
bachelor's degree in Psychology and a minor in coaching through the University
of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. I moved up to the UP to work in the mental health
field. I fell in love with this area and it suits me well. I made the switch to
education when I worked at the ISD as a Behavioral Consultant. At that time, I
went to NMU to pursue my Master's degree in Education - School Guidance
Counseling. I have 5 years experience with School Counseling from another
district. During my free time, I love spending time with my daughter, golfing,
softball, and relaxing. My husband is a Houghton native and we have one
daughter. We live in Houghton.
