Meet the Team

Nicole Jettner is a middle school counselor at the American International School in Japan. She has been an international educator for over 20 years and has taught in Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, China and now Japan. After 11 years as a classroom teacher and cultivating a passion for social and emotional learning, moving into school counseling was a natural transition for Nicole.

As a school counselor, Nicole values working with students, teachers, and parents in an effort to build well-being. She teaches SEL lessons in the classroom, provides workshops for parents, and regularly consults with teachers to help them implement SEL into their classrooms. It is this community approach to wellbeing that drew her to IFSEL and she is excited to share this approach with schools around the world.

Nicole holds Masters degrees in International Education and International Counseling. She is trained in Positive Discipline and Adaptive Schools and utilizes Responsive Classroom and mindfulness strategies in her practice.

Nicole is married and has 2 beautiful daughters ages 5 and 14. She believes that nature is good for the soul and loves outdoor travel and adventure.
