Emily Hoffer grew up in northern Vermont and graduated from Bates College in Lewiston, ME where she captained the women’s rowing team, studied abroad in India, and majored in Political Science. She spent the next seven years working on college campuses: first at Portland State University in Portland, OR coordinating internship programs in partnership with nonprofits across the city and then in the Office of Career Services at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (where she also earned her Masters of Education in School Counseling). Through mentoring undergraduate students, Emily grew interested in the support and preparation necessary before stepping onto that college campus to help students build academic skills, explore interests, and find a learning environment that fits best - all in the name of achieving their postsecondary goals. She is most inspired when doing that work at JHHS.

Lisa Husband grew up in Michigan, on Lake St. Clair, which instilled in her a love of the outdoors and nature. She earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from Denison University, in Ohio, and moved to Jackson where she met her husband. Professional dreams were put on hold while Lisa focused on starting her own family. In 2015 when her kids began to show more independence Lisa realized it was time to get back to focusing on her passion of helping young people. She took a part-time position as a paraprofessional at the Kelly Elementary School working with Kindergarten and 1st grade students so that she could also begin coursework towards her Masters Degree. She enrolled to study Counseling with a K-12 School Emphasis through the distance learning program at the University of North Dakota. Since 1996, Lisa has worked for various agencies in the valley and as a result has experience working with a wide spectrum of people. She looks forward to using her education and life experience to help students at JHHS develop appropriate goals and to assist them in realizing their full potential.
