She was then hired full time as the Lead Site Coordinator, a role that allowed her to mentor Site Coordinators. After that, she became the Community Engagement and School Relations Manager. Her leadership skills coupled with her experience of every role makes her the perfect Program Manager. Dominique, we are proud of you!
