Hi, I’m Vanessa Srikantham, and I’m excited to join the team as an academic coach! I look forward to helping students stay motivated and on track to meet their goals.
Before transitioning into education, I worked as a newspaper copy editor and page designer, including as part of a team that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. I later moved into travel marketing before taking time off to be a stay-at-home mom. In recent years, I’ve focused on substitute teaching — I'm certified in most districts across Butler and Warren counties — and supporting our local schools as a dedicated volunteer and PTO board member.
My husband, who is from India, and I have been married for 12 years. We live in Morrow with our 9-year-old daughter, who’s heading into fourth grade. I enjoy reading, playing board games, and traveling, and I’m a passionate advocate for public education.
