Meet the Team
Director of Counseling
Luisa Davis
| “This is my 14th year as a High School Counselor. I received my Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Recreation Administration from San Diego State University. I worked at Scott's Grocery Store for 22 years and then went back to school and earned my Master of Science in Counselor Education from IPFW. While working at Scott's, I came to the realization that people seem to come to me to talk about a range of topics and I love helping them and just talking to them. It was then I decided to go back to school to become a school counselor. I had always enjoyed volunteering at my kids' schools and this was a way to get back to the schools and continue working with people of all ages.” |

Sarah Roberts
Sarah Roberts will be the counselor for the incoming class of 2030.
| “This is my 12th school year as a High School Counselor. I received my Bachelor of Science, majoring in psychology from Ball State University. I earned my Master of Science in Counselor Education from IPFW. I have always been passionate about education. I originally wanted to be a Special Education teacher, but soon realized in college that becoming a School Counselor was a better fit for me. I found a career that is the perfect blend of my two passions.” |
Fernando Camargo
“This is my third year as a school counselor. I received my Bachelors of Science with a major in Psychology from Indiana Tech. After graduating, I worked at the Bowen Center as a skills coach for three years. While working at the Bowen Center, part of my job responsibility was to provide guidance and support to patients in the school setting. I decided to go back to school to be a school counselor. I earned my Masters of Science in school counseling from Purdue Fort Wayne.”
Rhonda Graney
“This is my 12th year as a High School Counselor at Warsaw. Before joining the Warsaw High School Counseling team, I served as an elementary School Counselor for 17 years at Pierceton Elementary in the Whitko School District. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Ball State University and my Master of Science in Counselor Education from IPFW. A first-generation high school graduate, I was inspired by my own high school counselor’s support to pursue a career in school counseling. I am passionate about helping students navigate challenges and achieve their goals.”
Valerie Burden
“This is my third school year as a High School Counselor. I received my Bachelor of Science in Pre-Med Biology from Indiana Wesleyan University. I decided to change paths and later earned my Transition to Teaching license through the University of Phoenix, and spent two years teaching 7th-grade science. After taking nine years away from the classroom to be home with my children, I realized how much I missed working in education—but I knew I wanted to serve students in a different way. I chose to pursue School Counseling, a field that allows me to combine my love for education with my passion for supporting students. I will graduate with my Master of Science in School Counseling from Indiana Wesleyan University in December 2025.”
Peyton Scharpenberg
“I am entering my third year as a High School Counselor. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies from Ball State University with the initial goal of becoming a lawyer. However, I realized that the aspects of law that appealed to me most - advocating, problem solving, and supporting others, were also central to the role of a school counselor. This led me back to Ball State to pursue a Master of Arts in School Counseling. I am grateful to have found a career that I am passionate about and genuinely love!”
