JA: In what ways do you feel your experience benefits this role?

Chrissy: My service and relationships as an educator will be my filter through all preparing and inspiring others through JA programming. Integrating those experiences into our conversations, trainings, and planning will help our team broaden the impact of our work.

Chrissy: My why is to empower the experts in our classrooms; reignite and keep their fire lit with real world success stories that happen here, in our region.
