Guidance and Intervention Team

Ms. Arielle completed a Graduate Certificate in Academic Advisement from Kansas State University in 2009, a Master of Education Degree in Higher and Postsecondary Education from Arizona State University in 2008 and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology from Ramapo College of New Jersey in 2007. Ms. Shinder grew up on the East Coast at the Jersey Shore and worked for 10+ years in College Admissions and Academic Advising. She moved to Arizona (her 2^nd stint here in the Valley of the Sun) from New York City in March 2020 and worked as a school counselor in Queen Creek, AZ before transitioning to Coronado this school year. She is thrilled to be here and is looking forward to meeting more of the student body and their families. In her spare time, she enjoys reading mystery novels and you can often find her playing tennis all over the valley.

I started my teaching career after earning my bachelor's degree from the University of North Dakota in Social Studies education. My first teaching job was 7th grade Geography at Nathan Twining Jr High School.  After moving to Texas, I attended Hardin Simmons University and earned my MA Ed in Counseling and Human Development. As a school counselor, my goal is to support and encourage all students to identify and achieve their academic and professional goals.

 I love traveling and have lived and worked in Venezuela, Germany and Brazil. I'm also a huge UND Fighting Hawks hockey fan.
