Bio
I’m Hope Nazzaro, and this is my 22nd year of teaching overall and my 10th year at the Career Elevation and Technology Center. I teach ProStart 1 and ProStart 2. I’m happily married and have two amazing children, Dominic and Lily. As a family, we enjoy playing sports, camping, traveling, and just spending time together. I also enjoy playing softball, cheering for the Chicago Bears, and using my creativity in foods and crafts. One thing I love about teaching at Career Elevation and Technology Center is that the students here are getting real-life industry skills and experiences that also help build accountability and responsibility. Career Elevation and Technology Center gives students that professional start.
