Who was born in Belgrade, former Yugoslavia on October 30, 1963, and is the new guidance counselor here at Wakefield? If you guessed Branis Knezevic, then you would be correct. The best memories from childhood that Branis had were traveling with her family. Mrs. Knezevic attended high school in Belgrade and later attended college at the University of Belgrade and she received a BS in food science. Then at Brock University in St Catharines, Ontario, she received a BED, and later graduated from Wayne State with a Masters in school counseling. Mrs. Knezevic has been teaching for fifteen years and says that the best part of her job is getting to talk to so many students and teachers everyday.
In her spare time, she enjoys reading and going for walks. If Branis could be an inanimate object she would be a book because she can read books over and over again and always find something new. She loves her job, but if she could have another job, it would be something with children. If Mrs. Knezevic was stranded on a desert island and she could only have one object, it would be a TV because then she wouldn't be bored while waiting to be rescued. As for aliens, she doesn't think they exist.
