My name is Mike Przybowski and I'm proud to be serving as a school counselor at Holly Grove Elementary. I recently had the honor of being selected as the Wake County Public Schools Elementary Counselor of the Year for 2016! I began school counseling in 2006 and I've served all of that time in elementary school. Prior to that, I was a securities analyst for a prime brokerage division in a large investment firm. School counseling has certainly been a change of pace! I originally hail from the great state of New Jersey...home to Bruce Springsteen! My wife Courtney (who has 10 years teaching experience and I often use her wisdom) and I moved from Chicago, IL in 2003. We are so proud to have two great kids, my daughter Julia and my son, Shane. In my non-working time, I enjoy kickboxing, exercising, playing golf, and going to concerts. I look forward to working with you in supporting the children of Holly Grove this year!
My name is Greta Kimel and I am so happy to be a counselor at Holly Grove Elementary School. I am originally from east Tennessee, but I have lived in the Raleigh area for 5 years and in North Carolina for 11 years. I received my Master's in School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Appalachian State University and have been been a school counselor since 2013. Before coming to Holly Grove, I worked as a middle school counselor (which is where this picture was taken when I got to hold an official Olympic torch!) and as an elementary school counselor. In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, swimming, crafting, traveling, cooking, playing board games, playing my violin in a community orchestra, and hanging out with my friends and family. I love being a hedgehog!
