Christy is the Manager of the Learning Center and the Program Manager for STEM and Math Placement Specialist. She earned her Master of Education in Instructional Technology from John Carroll University. She also holds a B.S. in Mathematics from Boston College. Her previous work as an adjunct instructor provides her with valuable insight into Lakeland's math courses and pathways. She enjoys helping students achieve their academic goals and empowering them to overcome any fear or anxiety related to math. She loves the outdoors, sports and cooking.
Joee received her master's degree in English Creative Writing at Cleveland State University through Northeast Ohio's Fine Arts Program. She graduated with bachelor's degrees in English and German at Marshall University. She is the Program Manager for Lakeland's Writing Center and teaches English Composition part-time. In her work as an Academic Coach, she helps students with study skills, Accuplacer Writing Test prep, note taking, time management, reading comprehension, writing, organization and other skills that help students to be successful in all their academic endeavors.
Fun Facts: Aside from reading and writing Joee loves to run (and must do it daily rain or shine or else she's grumpy). She enjoys anything outdoors, which Cleveland seems to think is a big joke eight months out of the year. She's a dedicated cinephile who cannot wait sit down in a movie theater. She also has an addiction to popcorn and buying clogs. Her biggest motivation is the students she has the privilege of working with!
Sandy is a Math Support Specialist in the Learning Center. She has been helping students learn mathematics for over 30 years at Lakeland, both as an instructor and a tutor. She is very passionate about working with math students so that they can achieve their academic goals. She received her Associate of Arts from our very own Lakeland Community College and her Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Kent State University. When she is not sharing her love of math to help empower students, she can be found spending time with the other loves of her life, her family and friends.
