Karen Boodman

Welcome to our counseling department webpage! I am Karen Boodman, which rhymes with "Goodman" (I don't get offended if you mispronounce it!) I get to work with students whose last names begin with ST - Z. Students may come in and make an appointment to see me whenever they need to discuss college applications and admission requirements, personal concerns, grades, transcripts, progression towards graduation, volunteer opportunities, conflict resolution, scholarship applications, or almost any other issue out there! When I am not at Northglenn I like to hang out with my friends, my dog, my cat, and also knit an occasional scarf or two.

Lindsey Bentz

Hi, I’m Lindsay Bentz, and I am the counselor for the A-Cl part of the alphabet. This is my first year at Northglenn and my second year living in Colorado. I am originally from Indiana and I went to Purdue University for both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees…Boiler Up! I will be working with Big Brother/Big Sister and student council this year as well.

In my time outside of school, I like to hang out with my family and friends, write, and spend a lot of time outside. I also enjoy following gymnastics, pro tennis, and both MLB and college baseball. I play golf and am a former gymnast. I am hoping to become a better skier this year…we’ll see how it goes! I also love to travel. I am looking forward to my first year at Northglenn and getting to know everyone here!

Michael P. Ruffner

 

Hi there,

I'm Mike Ruffner and I am the counselor for students NO-SA. This is my first year at Northglenn and third overall for school counseling. I am extremely excited to be here. I grew up in San Diego but moved out to Colorado about 3 years ago to pursue affordable housing, the mountains and snow. It's true, I love the snow. I graduated from California State University Chico in 2002 with a Bachelor's in Recreation Administration, and almost immediatley returned to school to pursue a Masters Degree in School Counseling.
During my free time, I love spending time with my soon to be wife, hiking, jogging, golf, tennis and pretty much anything that gets me outside. I'm also a huge fan of the Chargers but I won't apologize for that.

I look forward to meeting everyone,

Mike

Anjela Schwab

Hello! My name is Anjela Schwab.  I love being a part of the Northglenn High School community.  As a counselor, I am excited and energized by the new challenges that face the students of today.  I hope to encourage all students to make their education a positive in their lives.  Most of all, I hope to provide students with a sense of accomplishment and belonging, teaching them that diversity is the key to life and education is a means to anything you want to be. 

I graduated with a degree in Counseling Education and Rehabilitation Services from Penn State University (Go Nittany Lions!) where I attended on an athletic scholarship.  After graduation, I coached at a Division I university in Louisiana.  A BIG alligator on the field one morning scared me right onto a plane headed back to Colorado.  I worked in the athletic department at the University of Colorado while I got my master’s degree in Secondary and Post Secondary Counseling with an emphasis in Student Personnel Administration.
