My name is Nicole Wallace. This is my sixth year at Gainesville Elementary as School Counselor. I am looking forward to another great year with all our little Bulldogs. 

I graduated from Lutie High School. I earned my Associate Degree at Missouri State University-West Plains. I then transferred to Drury University where I earned my Bachelor Degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice. After working for the Department of Family Services for several years, I enrolled in graduate school and completed my Masters of Science Degree in Counseling from Missouri State University in 2012. A short time after working as a School Counselor, I earned my certification as a School Psychological Examiner from Lindenwood University in 2015. 

I have been blessed to have lived in the Ozarks my entire life.  I have one son, who attends Gainesville High School. He is absolutely the joy of my life. I enjoy spending quality time with my family.  The things we enjoy the most together are the many activities that we are blessed to have in our area, such as spending time at the lakes, creeks, and rivers.
