Bio
I'm Valerie Swanson, and this is my third year teaching in the Health Sciences Department at the Career Elevation and Technology Center. I currently teach Medical Foundations and Human Nutrition. I love working at CETC because I get to partner with amazing high schoolers who teach me something new everyday. In my free time, I like playing beach volleyball and playing games with my family.
