Lisa Bartel (she/her)
llbartel@seattleschools.org
I am a Seattle girl through and through, born and raised right here in Arbor Heights. One of my favorite parts of working at Chief Sealth is getting to see the families that have been in this area for generations sitting side-by-side with families that are new to our city and our Chief Sealth community.
I love 90’s music, reality television, and take out from any restaurant in White Center!

slnamba@seattleschools.org
A proud 3rd generation graduate of Seattle Public Schools, I have lived in the south-end Seattle neighborhood of Beacon Hill my entire life. I am passionate about both my community and the work I am blessed to be able to do within this community.
I attended Seattle University where I received both my Bachelor’s in Psychology degree in 2010 and Master’s in Education degree in 2015. I currently have 3 adorable bunnies and a sweet corgi at home. Like many, I enjoy spending my time with the ones I love most—my “fur” babies, my husband, my family and my friends.

Born and raised just north of Seattle to parents from the Midwest, I majored in Psychology at Western Washington University before transferring to the Masters of Counseling program at Central Washington University. I started my School Counseling career at the K-5 level before moving on to Middle School and eventually Chief Sealth. I love my family, animals, traveling, music, practicing yoga, and can sometimes be spotted walking my dogs in our local community.
