My name is Joe Kim and I am the elementary school counselor for Lockwood! I am excited to join the staff, students and families in the Northshore School District.

A little bit about myself, I earned my Bachelors of Science at the University of Washington and my Masters in School Counseling from Seattle Pacific University. I enjoy playing sports, exploring the great outdoors, and reading!

I look forward to being a respectful counselor that provides equitable services for all students and strengthening the Northshore community!
