I was working on my Bachelor of Arts degree while living at the shelter. LifeWorks skills training, workshops and sessions helped me push forward to reach my goal… Someone once told me that I would never get hired as a teacher in Arlington. Here I am.
I am now an Arlington County Public School Teacher.
