Day to Day

The mission of the Foundation is to create partnerships with public school districts and support their work in the area of alternative education. In my role, I serve as a recruiter and supporter of the partnerships. My typical day may involve most or all of the following: research, communicating and developing relationships with individuals/organization, connecting individuals, developing reports, evaluation, management, problem solving, and strategic planning.

Skills & Qualities Beyond School

I have found that my former experiences of having jobs as a teacher, school administrator, coach, mentor and programs coordinator have all been an asset to me in my current position. In my former jobs, I had more direct work with youth and students. My current position is more removed. However, I have a strong understanding of what students, teachers and administrators are experiencing and need to be successful. I believe that that this has been been beneficial to me.
