Demetria Roach
Vice President & Certified Mentor
A Charleston, SC native, I have been a certified teacher since 2007. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Family & Consumer Sciences from South Carolina State University and my Master's Degree in School Guidance & Counseling from The Citadel.
As a School Guidance Counselor, I prepare students for a successful future, personally and professionally by steering them on the road to academic success by evaluating and implementing a plan to best fit each student’s needs and goals. In addition to academic excellence, I prepare students to be career ready by helping them gain the desired skills and competencies. For the students who are uncertain about which career field they want to enter into, I guide them towards their interests, strengths and talents by self-reflection and aptitude testing. Playing an active role in preparing students for their future after high school whether its college, the work force or military is exceptionally rewarding.
As a veteran, having served in both the Army and Air Force as a Commissioned Officer, I've gained lifelong skills of leadership, discipline, teamwork, determination, perseverance and resiliency to name a few. For those who are interested or curious about the military, I share my expertise of military life, careers and benefits.
Over the years, I have become aware of the importance of self- sufficiency through entrepreneurship. Having obtained a skilled trade as a licensed nail technician, I work in the service/beauty industry and love providing skin/nail health and beautification services to clients.
With my broad-ranging background I enjoy passing along the knowledge, experiences, and information I've obtained along the way to help others gain success.
