About: Hi! My name is Nick Vande Krol and this is my first year as a practicing school psychologist. I'm so excited to be here at Washington! I was born and raised in a small town in Iowa, where I studied music and psychology during my undergraduate. I'm passionate about using scientific tools to make education more equitable. In my free time, I love to gravel bike, travel, cook and eat with loved ones, and play music.

Alumni: Luther College and Northern Arizona University
