Justin Schmidt

April is one of the best Learning Assistants that I have ever worked with. She always puts student needs first. Whether that means being tough or kind, bold or companionate, the result is always what is best for the student. She is always professional, caring, and helpful. I am very fortunate to be able to work with her, and not only because she helps my students grow, but because she helps me grow as well.

April Sue was an excellent director at JCC. She was highly organized, provided many positive activities for the students, built a sense of community, and kept order. She held students accountable for following the housing rules and was reasonable in how she handled any incidents. I admired her confidence, energy, and dedication to helping students.
