Hi, I'm Ms. Sophie Banwarth.  I am the elementary school counselor at Dunkerton.  I am originally from Dubuque, Iowa, and graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2005 with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology.  I completed my Master's in Education in the School Counseling Program at UNI in December 2007. 

In my free time I enjoy jogging, reading, and spending time with my friends and family. I really like to travel and go on new adventures.  During my undergraduate degree I had the opportunity to study abroad in Australia at the University of Newcastle.  I lived with 9 Australian students, traveled around the country, and met many new people from a variety of cultures.

I have always enjoyed interacting with children.  During college I realized that the school counseling profession would allow me to help children personally, socially, and academically on a daily basis.  It has been my passion ever since! I look forward to meeting you and your student(s) and to working together to have a successful and rewarding school year!
