Thoreau School Counselor: Mr. Botello

Hello, my name is Jesse Botello! I will be fulfilling the role as the school counselor at Thoreau for the remainder of the school year. I am in the process of completing my Master of Education degree in school counseling from Seattle Pacific University, and I am expected to graduate in early June!

A little about myself, I am a native Texan, and I am proud of my Tejano/Mexican culture. I love playing music, I am in the process of forming a new band with my friends! I also enjoy running, playing basketball, and attending trivia nights. My lifelong goal is to be a contestant on Jeopardy!

I look forward to meeting and collaborating with yall!
