Your Counselors:
Mrs. Diana Ambrose – School Counselor for Grades K-2 e-mail me (904) 547-3739
Hello Mill Creek Academy families! I am so happy to be joining you and to have this chance to share a little bit about me. This is my 20th year as an Elementary School Counselor. Before arriving to Mill Creek, I was at South Woods Elementary School for 9 yrs. Prior to that position, I was a School Counselor for 10 yrs at Wilkinson Elementary School in Clay County. Outside of School Counseling, I have had quite a mix of teaching experience. On the Gulf Coast of FL I worked as a Humane Education Coordinator for a Humane Society animal shelter and taught children with special needs for many years. I also had the thrill of being a teacher for 2 yrs. with the U.S. Peace Corps in Jamaica! I was born and raised in Michigan, but have called Florida home for the past 24 years. I started out on the Gulf Coast near Venice and have been in St. Augustine for the last 19yrs. I am a twin! My twin brother Lawrence lives out in San Diego, California. I also have an older brother in Dallas and an older sister in Sarasota. I love to read, garden, outdoor recreation and traveling around the world with my husband, Todd. I believe in the goodness and strength of each child and love the opportunity I have in my job to empower students! I am very much looking forward to meeting you and your children.
