LifeChanger of the Year Nominee Profile

De'Siree Clark was nominated by her colleague, Heather Berkey.

"I’m proud to nominate De'Siree Clark for this award because she truly makes a difference in the lives of her students and our school. She talks to students in a way that helps them understand why making good choices matters, and they know she cares about them. She is kind, loving, and always puts the kids first. She helps create a positive atmosphere at school by encouraging others and being someone her coworkers can count on. She is a leader who steps up when things need to get done and is always ready to help. Her care for students, strong example, and the way she helps build a warm and respectful school environment stand out. She’s the kind of person you can go to when you need someone steady, kind, and real. You never have to wonder if she cares because she shows it every day in both big and small ways. Whether it's offering a helping hand, checking in when someone seems off, or simply listening, she makes people feel supported. Her presence brings a sense of calm and trust that both students and coworkers appreciate," said Berkey.
