Day to Day
There are six specialists, including myself. I travel between five different school districts and work with students in grades 6-12 in an array of topics concerning the world of work. I help students explore their personality types, discover their interests, and figure out how this relates to their graduation and future career paths. I also connect business owners with students. You could say my role is to be the puzzle piece that connects classrooms to actual businesses.
