Cultivating, supporting, and mentoring the growth of Adolescent students

I administered support for students based on their personal/social needs and developed Group Counseling to support them.  

I utilized school based programs and/or community programs to support the need or parents and students.

I developed an after school program, specifically for girls, that focused on self esteem, etiquette, setting goals, and cultivating their personal interest.

I was the Sponsor of The National Honor Society ( BETA CLUB) at the middle school level, cultivating the integrity of scholastic ability.
