Program Co-Director: Mandy Chesley-Park - mandy.chesleypark@mausd.org

Mandy has been directing MAUSD's Expanded Learning Program for over eight years.  She has had the opportunity to see the program through big transitions and helped it through its infancy.  For all intents and purposes, the Expanded Learning Program is her fourth child, an important sibling to her three daughters.  Most days Mandy feels like a talent scout, always on the lookout for strong, dynamic workshop leaders to teach exciting after-school workshops to students at MAUSD's five elementary schools.  It is her conviction that without her incredible ELP team, the Expanded Learning Program would be a shadow of itself today.  Mandy began her work with the Expanded Learning Program six years ago as a tutor.  Professionally, Mandy earned her BS in English and her MFA in Nonfiction Writing.  She has taught college level English Literature and writing; directed college writing labs; and worked in several managerial positions.  her passion is writing, a skill she uses to secure grants  for the Expanded Learning Program.  At her core, Mandy is a wife, mother, teacher, and joyful director of MAUSD's Expanded Learning Program.
