Jake TapleyAbout Me
I was born and raised in Millbury, Ohio where I attended Lake High School. I have lived in the greater Toledo area for almost my entire life, and my wife and I currently live in Waterville, Ohio. In my spare time, I enjoy playing golf, watching movies, and playing games with my daughter. For the last two years, I have been a school counselor at Bowling Green Middle School. Prior to that, I worked in various roles in the juvenile justice system, including juvenile probation officer and youth advisor. I am also the varsity boys golf coach at Maumee High School. Education After high school, I attended The Ohio State University and received a bachelors degree in Criminology in 2009. After working in the field for a couple years, I decided to begin my graduate program in school counseling at Bowling Green State University, where I graduated in 2015. Throughout my graduate program, I was a member of Chi Sigma Iota - Beta Gamma chapter. Counseling Experiences As a school counselor, I provide direct services to students in the form of individual and group counseling, as well as classroom lessons. My focus is to assist students with personal, social, and academic growth and development. I also provide career advising with a strong focus on self-awareness and career exploration. I strive to meet the individual needs of my students, and frequently collaborate with parents, teachers, administrators, and other staff to provide the best possible learning environment for all. I am looking forward to working at Gateway and I can be contacted anytime if you have questions. |
