STAFF SPOTLIGHT
PARAPROFESSIONAL, MRS. KONESKI
My name is Molly Koneski and I am very excited to be a part of the East Vincent family. I attended LaSalle University where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in social work and a minor in elementary education in 2005. I started working at a non-profit in Philadelphia where I assisted adults with physical disabilities to find accessible homes and transition from nursing homes back into the community. While working full time, I went back to school. In 2010, I graduated from West Chester University with a Masters in Social Work. Eight years ago I chose to stay home to raise my two children, Logan (7) and Maya (4), with the help of my husband Bill’s support. It was a wonderful experience but I am ready to be back to work and couldn’t be happier to be working at East Vincent.
SCHOOL SOCIAL WORKER, MISS JEN
This is my 19th as a school social worker in OJR, and I have never had the same day twice. I enjoy helping students and families find success in school. I am currently working towards my Doctorate of Social Work, with an anticipated graduation date of May 2021. When I’m not at East Vincent I enjoy spending time with my husband, Keith and my 10 year old daughter, Johnna. I love teaching Yoga4Classroms in school and practicing yoga outside of school.
