Giselle Scipione is native to northeast Ohio and was an active member of the Lake County 4H organization. Miss Scipione developed a deep passion for education during her time in 4H and when she taught Ohio Girl Scout troops about the various STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine) fields. Scipione earned an associate’s degree in science and an associate’s degree in art from Lakeland Community College during her time at Mentor High School through Ohio’s College Credit Plus program, making her a huge proponent of secondary education opportunities. Later, she earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Ursuline College, and she is currently completing her MPH in Epidemiology at the University of Memphis. 

Scipione’s approach to working with students and families is compassionate and understanding. She focuses on meeting them halfway when feelings can’t be placed into words or actions. She utilizes a confidence-building approach that addresses the needs and wants of the child to strengthen their opinion towards learning and create a successful journey.  

Here’s a great quote: 

“If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.”
