Intake Helpers & Student Navigators: Laura Perez, Heather Helmer, Maria Delgado Myers, Patti Nash, Joe Riddle and Sergio Cilla
|
|
Intake Helpers and Student Navigators guide students through the registration process. They help find the class that best fits the students’ need, and they help students set their short and long-term goals. They assist students with their schedules, attendance, and technology. Student Navigators are the link between the students, the instructors, and the Adult Education Team at Chesapeake College.
Why we love our jobs:
Maria and Sergio are encouraged to see their Spanish-speaking students accomplishing goals and appreciate seeing student’s gratitude. Heather has mentioned she wears two hats, one as a Student Navigator and the other as an Intake Helper. This has allowed her to help students from a wider perspective. Laura will never forget the student who was very nervous at the intake process. Laura noticed he got down on his knees and kissed the floor when he got into the NEDP program.

Intake & Assessment Specialists (IAS): Danielle Thomas and Karen Luceti
|
|
Intake & Assessment Specialists oversee the whole registration process. They post-test to follow up on students’ progress and gains. They also monitor the classes and assist students and teachers with testing issues. IAS staff supervise the Intake Helpers and Student Navigators to make up an incredible and powerful support team.
How we are making a difference:
Danielle says she has helped students get copies of their GED® Transcript by “walking them through the online process” at GED.com. Students have told us they are very thankful for her support. Karen says students are the heart and core of the program, and she works hard to help them succeed and improve the quality of their lives.

Transition Specialists: Janet Hilty (ABE) & Karen Luceti (ESL as an Intake & Assessment Specialist)
|
|
Transition Specialists contact students when they reach a certain point in their education. A Transition Specialist provides students with the information they need to set and define their career goals. Transition Specialists use these goals to guide students into post-secondary education, a workforce training program, or a specific career.
Your success is our success:
Janet says the most important job she has is to be the students’ cheerleader, their friend, and to help them get to wherever they want to go.

NEDP Assessors: Marci Leach, Jason Mullen, Connie Wolfe, Janet Hilty, and Bill Berghaus |
|
The job of the NEDP Assessor is to advise, assess, and facilitate students through the process of building their NEDP portfolio. Students earn their Maryland State High School Diploma after completing an approved portfolio.
More than an Assessor
Marci Leach has helped her students set and achieve career goals. She has assisted several older students in checking off “Get my Diploma” from their bucket lists! (They wanted to “practice what you preach” to their grandchildren.) Connie Wolfe helped several ESL NEDP students get information on WIOA funded scholarships to continue their education at Chesapeake College and make connections that led to new careers here on the Eastern Shore.
