Lynn Nielsen
I've been a counselor in the Iron County School District for 24 fabulous years.  I did my undergraduate studies at Southern Utah University, and obtained my Master's Degree from Utah State University.  Prior to working as a school counselor I was a youth and family counselor for the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, and a CPS investigator and caseworker for DCFS.  My original career aspiration to be a rock star went off the rails when it was discovered that my musicianship was responsible for the genetic mutation of several species of domestic sheep and a variety of amphibians.

I have a husband, two daughters, a chocolate Lab, and an English Bulldog. Our favorite time spent together is at our family cabin near Brian Head. 

My passions include:  reading, writing, music, photography, philosophy, and sarcasm.

I oversee the transition from middle school to high school and do all of the guidance curriculum in the 7th and 8th grade. You can email me at: lynn.nielsen@ironmail.org

This is my second year as a school counselor at Canyon View Middle School.  Prior to coming here, I was a school counselor for 2 years at Washington County School District in St George Utah, and an academic adviser at Dixie State University for 5 years.  I graduated with my Master’s degree in School Counseling from the University of Utah, and my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Utah State University.  I love working with students and watching them reach their goals.
 
I am married and have three energetic sons: A three year old and twin infants.  I love snow boarding, playing board and card games, and reenacting the major fight scenes from movies. I also love to eat good food, but who doesn’t.
