Marina M. Kravtsova has made tremendous contributions, in being the main driver in developing the roles of San Mateo Adult student volunteers, including mentoring and fostering their leadership skills. She contacts them, trains them, and supports their developmental role as leaders in our program. She is a professional psychologist in her native country of Russia, and brings compassion and understanding to our student volunteer development, based on her professional experiences.
San Mateo Adult & Career Education Director, Angela Taylor said, "As the Adult School attempted to implement its very first ever hybrid model program, a combination of online and in person programs, Marina persevered and transcended these extremely challenging times to demonstrate innovative practices and an outstanding commitment to the Adult School. Going above and beyond, despite being understaffed and experiencing various deficits due to COVID, she implemented and carried out exemplary registration and orientation processes to serve students since the start of the COVID pandemic.”
Marina’s colleagues have a tremendous amount of appreciation and respect for her and value working with her. She is collaborative. She takes initiative and consults to assure she is carrying out guidelines. She is irreplaceable. She has led parent groups, as well as various presentations on mental health. She always tries to find ways to improve our systems, and to look at our program overall with the intention of how to best serve, support and help direct our student population, while always showing concern for staff.
