Share more with us about what your day-to-day role looks like!
I manage the transition from student to professional by overseeing off-site internships. I coordinate with business mentors to ensure students complete 100+ hours of career-specific work, maintain high performance standards, and meet their core graduation
requirements while maintaining partnerships with said businesses. It is about 3 jobs happening simultaneously.
What initially drew you to City High?
The opportunity to work at a cutting edge school
directly impacting high school students to help shape their future.
What do you love most about working at City High?
Having the best of both worlds to work with students while developing partnerships with organizations outside of City
High, as well as seeing students' curiosity and interests and helping them to see the many opportunities available in life to explore.
Best advice for City High students?
High school is a stepping stone. You don’t need life
figured out yet. You just need to be intentional-because the choices you make today are quietly building your tomorrow!
