FOR THE KIDS

BY ELENA ROMERO

For the past 16 years, Nichole L. Church-Ford has been working for the Department of Education. A 37-year-old Para-Professional and mother of three, Nichole decided to come go back to school in 1999 to pursue a teaching degree. “CWE was recommended to me by a relative who was attending it at the time,” she says.

From the moment Nichole walked through the doors of CWE, she has never turned back. “The staff and faculty have always been patient wit me and helpful no matter what the situation,” says Nichole, who currently works with children with special needs. “It is just a comfortable and relaxing environment. It is a small community of students, which makes achieving your goals easier.”

In the future, Nichole also plans on pursuing a master’s degree in clinical psychology.
