School Counselor
Meet Mrs. Galvan
I grew up in Hastings and graduated high school from Doniphan-Trumbull with a graduating class of 60 students! I then went to Hastings College where I studied Psychology. Once I graduated, I moved to Chicago, where I got my Master’s in Counseling, got married, and had a baby. After living there for 5 years, Elias, Rianna, and I moved back to good ole’ NE to be close to family. I worked in OPS at Indian Hill for 3 years before joining you all at Patriot 4 years ago! I am a licensed therapist and have my teaching certification. In August of 2023 we added a new member to our family, Evelyn! She is 16 and is from Argentina. We also have 2 dogs, Kai and Oso, and a ferret, Aurora! We’re all happy, healthy, and love being apart of the Patriot family!
