About Me
My name is Monica Sawyer
In order to get an accurate picture of who I am and the passion I have for education, a bit of background is necessary. My father was recruited to come to the United States from Europe. He arrived with two suitcases, a work ethic and the need to make a difference. He transferred his philosophy of the importance of hard work and the belief that education is the key to self efficacy.
In every position I have held I have sought to push the boundaries and increase my skills in order to better serve students. With over thirty years in education, I have witnessed countless times the life-changing benefits of education not only for my own children but for the students I have had the honor to serve. It has become my mission and passion to help as many students and families as possible.
My Education includes:
My undergraduate degree is in Economics from Clark University. My graduate degree in education with a specialty in school counseling from Notre Dame College. I am also ASCA (American School Counselor Association) certified as a career development specialist. I received training in college and financial aid counseling while employed by NHHEAF (New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance Foundation).
