Meet Your Middle School Counselor

My name is Brittany Mellendorf, and I am the middle school counselor at HVAM. I live in Grand Rapids with my husband, Dave, son Levi, and our crazy cat, Kuyper. We love to travel and explore the world and also enjoy rooting for the Michigan Wolverines; GO BLUE! I attended Grand Valley State University and earned my bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in education in school counseling. I’m excited to work with you and for the goals we will achieve together!!
