Brittany Willis
High School Counselor, Marion High School
I am Brittany Willis and I am a Marion, IL native and graduate from MHS. After my time at MHS I went on to study Psychology at SIU Carbondale and earned my Bachelor's in 2013. I continued my studies at SIUC pursuing a Master's degree in School Counseling with hopes to start my career in Southern IL. Plans were changed when I accepted a job offer at a small, rural school district in east central IL. Over the years, I made my way back down the state and ultimately earned a position in the MHS Guidance Department. I serve 10th-12th graders last names G-N with their academic, social/emotional and career needs. When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my husband, two dogs and our 15 month old Eliana Faye.
