Career Guidance
Elizabeth Levenson is the College and Career Center Coordinator. She is starting her 9th school year at Jackson-Reed High School. She has held several roles at Jackson-Reed, but the common thread among all of them is that she loves helping students. She was an English major at Cornell University, where she learned research and writing skills, and before coming to Jackson-Reed she worked as a copyeditor and proofreader. She is excited to help students with their college and career search--likely the biggest research project they have worked on in their lives so far. She works closely with the 12th grade counselors.
