The PHS team is thrilled to introduce our newest team member and Wellness Specialist, Grace James. Grace is joining PHS with a master’s degree in health service administration, a bachelor’s degree in public health education and she is also a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES). Her previous work includes working in COVID-19 response for public and private K-12 schools and she has worked with school-aged populations for eight years. She’s a great fit with the PHS team with interests in cooking, gardening, and walking her dog Lucky – she even worked on her bucket list and went skydiving this past summer! Grace will be working with our new PHS middle schools for the 2021-2022 school year as well as supporting the ongoing health and wellness efforts of Project Healthy Schools. Welcome to the PHS community, Grace!
