Sea Dragons' Diary Week of May 8th
Week of May 8th
Welcome our New Lin Howe School Psychologist
My name is Sherine Shenouda, and I am thrilled to support the Linwood Howe community as your new School Psychologist.
Prior to joining the Culver City team, I previously worked with the Los Angeles Unified School District for the past twenty-two years, first as a Special Education Teacher at a local middle school, then as a School Psychologist serving families throughout the vast LA region. More recently, I spent the last eight years of my career working with LA’s Gifted and Talented Programs, working with students and families on identifying students as gifted, recommending specialized programs, and working with twice-exceptional students. I couldn’t be happier to join the Culver City team and continue my career.
I am an LA native, a proud resident of Culver City, and a mom of two beautiful children (11 and 9). Our family is BIG on sports. We spend a lot of our time taking our kids to their practices and games, lugging equipment, cheering them on, and enjoying some good-spirited competition.
In the few short weeks since I have arrived, I’ve been greeted with nothing but smiles and kindness. Thank you for the warm welcome and I am looking forward to meeting more of you each day.
