SVCC Central of Lunenburg High School <strong>Career</strong> Coach<br />
Melissa shares her favorite quote by Maya Angelou, “Nothing will work unless you do.” As a<br />
business owner in Southside Virginia for 22 years, Melissa Colbert knows first-hand the<br />
importance of having a skilled and trained workforce. She knows the value of education and the<br />
challenges students face if they don’t have a clear pathway. Without support of school<br />
counselors, administrators, teachers and career coaches, the majority of students will graduate<br />
with IDK (I Don’t Know). She has been a career coach for 8 years.<br />
Angela Pulliam-Jones<br />
SVCC Amelia County High School <strong>Career</strong> Coach<br />
Angela has tons of “people” experience. She has been working in the human services field for<br />
20 years and higher education for five years. She enjoys the role of working with 9th through<br />
12th graders to explore careers and career pathways. Angela’s primary focus is assisting<br />
seniors as they transition from high school to postsecondary education, military, workforce<br />
training, apprenticeship or employment. Angela shares one of her favorite quotes by an<br />
unknown author, “Failure doesn’t mean the game is over, it means try again with experience.”<br />
