Brief description of position: Responsible for the team that raises over 50% of our annual operation expenses from charitable gifts.
Why do you work at CCA? I want all children to have an educational environment that feeds their soul and nurtures their mind. Each child has a right to an uplifting educational experience and I want to share that message.
What is special about your students and the importance of your position in their future? I have the unique opportunity to connect with students in a non-threatening way. This gives me the chance to help them see their potential as well as their limitations.
