Meet the Team: Carmelita Spencer, Graduate Support Director

With more than 18 years of experience at Sister Thea Bowman Catholic School, few people know our students and their families better than Carmelita Spencer. So when the decision was made to tap her as Access’ Graduate Support Director (GSD) in 2019, it was an easy one. “I was very excited about the opportunities that would be given to our students and wanted to be a part of efforts to assist them beyond high school,” said Carmelita of her desire to transition from longtime teacher to GSD. Carmelita is a native of East St. Louis, holds a B.A. in Communication, and enjoys both listening to live music and making jewelry. You can learn more about her by reading a brief Q&A above.
