I have worked with teens as a classroom educator for over 30 years. I am excited to work with the students this year in a different role. As Graduation Coach, my main focus is on keeping students academically on track for graduation. There are multiple opportunities for me to assist students. Being a part of a student’s graduation story is very rewarding.
