Meet our GEAR UP New Mexico's Regional Coordinator, Katherin Hinton, M.S.Ed.! . What is your position, and what do you do with GEAR UP? I am a Regional Coordinator with GEAR UP New Mexico. One exciting aspect of my role is focusing on workforce development and career pathways programming in collaboration with our partner schools and a wide range of entities and initiatives across our great state. . What is unique about GEAR UP New Mexico? The beauty of GEAR UP New Mexico is its reach as a state grant. It is such a privilege to work within this special and unique grant model that allows us to serve whole school populations with college and career readiness programming. This inclusive model will enable us to impact nearly 7,000 students statewide yearly. At New Mexico GEAR UP schools, EVERYONE is a GEAR UP student! . What advice would you give a student or parent about college and career readiness? As a former college advisor, I have lots of points of advice. My most significant advice would be to engage often with the people around you who are in roles of guidance and support-- like your school counselors and GEAR UP Program Coordinators, as well as college recruiters, advisors, and financial aid specialists. All of these people want to hear from you. They want you to ask lots of questions. That's why their job exists. So don't be afraid to reach out and talk to them frequently about their college and career goals, needs, and next steps! . What is the best part of your job? What energizes you at work? Witnessing student joy and the broadening of horizons and possibilities for young people is probably one of the most energizing aspects of this work. . . . #GEARUPNewMexico #GetToKnowUs #GEARUP #GUNM #RegionalCoordinator #GEARUPworks #GUNMStaff

🌟 Celebrating Teachers Every Day! 🌟 As a passionate educator and recruiter for Greenville County Schools, I know firsthand the incredible impact that teachers have on our kids and communities. For 22 years, I had the privilege of being a special education teacher, starting my career in the elementary schools, and later teaching on the middle and high school levels and even in one of our district career centers! Passion for education runs in my family, and I couldn't be prouder of my daughter, Lauren, who is now an art teacher! Recently, her school awarded her with the "Everyday Greatness" award, recognizing her dedication and positive influence on her students. This got me thinking - why not celebrate every teacher every day? Lauren's school had a fantastic idea to foster appreciation. They passed around a bucket, symbolizing how she fills her students' lives with kindness, character, artistic expertise, and a nurturing classroom environment. The third graders were THRILLED to acknowledge how Lauren fills their buckets with #JOY & #KNOWLEDGE! This concept isn't limited to schools alone. Whether you're in education, a corporate office, or working remotely, let's embrace kindness and gratitude. Let's take a moment each day to #uplift and #acknowledge the people we work with. It's amazing how a simple act of recognition can make someone's day! So, whether you're a recruiter searching for talent, a job seeker looking for opportunities, or someone in need of a little pick-me-up, let's join together and #FillEachOthersBucket. Let's spread #positivity, #appreciation, and #support, because TOGETHER, we can make a difference. 🌈🙌✨ If your school or place of employment does something similar, PLEASE SHARE in the comments below, I would ❤️ to know how your place of employment lifts others up and acknowledges their greatness! #TeachersMatter #Appreciation #SpreadPositivity #Gratitude #MakeADifference #Teamwork #Kindness #gcschools #teacherrecruitment

New beginnings = opportunities for growth Today was my eldest’s first day of kindergarten. New school, new uniform, new friends, new everything for not only her but for our whole family. 🐶 We could not have been more proud of the way she bravely stepped into the new classroom full of new faces, put her things away, and started introducing herself to other kids. We knew how nervous she was about starting this new chapter, we were also nervous… Whether starting a new school or a new job, it's all about embracing new beginnings and opportunities for growth. #recruiting #hiring #growth
