Most meaningful part of working for EPIC:
Being able to spread the Bob Wilson’s mission every day to make a positive impact in one’s life. Providing MCSD families resources, life ready skills, tools, and techniques to empower them through the EPIC programs. Knowing that I’ve made a difference in one’s life brings me immediate joy as I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity and support to work with the Monticello Central School District families and the EPIC Team as the EPIC Family Engagement Program Manager.
