My name is Carly Baker, and I am the Head Counselor of Cascade Parent Partnership, in the virtual program. I obtained both a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Education in Counseling at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. I was an elementary and middle school counselor in Virginia, before moving to Seattle in 2011. I was the Dean of Students for several years in the Bellevue School District before joining Seattle Public Schools in 2016 at Lowell Elementary. I helped to re-open Meany Middle School the next school year, and eventually made my was to Cascade Parent Partnership in January of 2022. As a School Counselor, I follow the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model, which focuses on the academic, personal/social and career development of all students.
I am also a Seattle Public School parent and volunteer. My spare time is happily spent with my two children, Owen and Scout, and our dog, Taco. I enjoy playing and watching soccer, building Lego, riding bikes, and spending time with friends.
