A little about Tori:

I was born and raised in Orrville, Ohio. A huge part of my childhood was spent in my mother's gym where I did gymnastics, competitive cheerleading, and dance. After I graduated high school, I went on to attend The University of Akron where I obtained my master's degree in social work. During my time at The University of Akron, I completed my undergraduate and graduate internship at Project GRAD. Through my internship, I discovered my passion for social work in a school-based setting. I feel very blessed to be able to fulfill that passion every day in my work with Project GRAD Akron!
