Ciera has been part of the LPA community since the 2015-2016 school year and cannot imagine spending her time working anywhere else! She is excited to work alongside our community rejuvenating our family involvement and continuing to build our Family Resources this school year! Ciera is continuously in awe of the educators she is surrounded by and cannot wait to lean into the future with LPA in its 12th year as the Director of Family Support and Operations. Before LPA Ciera spent time as a Director in several aftercare programs, as a youth leader, working in early childhood, and as a co-teacher in a lower elementary Montessori classroom. She continues to ground herself in her belief that all children deserve a quality education and someone to believe in them. When Ciera is not at LPA she loves exploring the city, spending time with friends and watching their kiddos grow, and hanging out with her 2, four-legged children. This fall she will be finishing her Social Work degree and is excited to bring things she has learned into her LPA community.
