This month, Hopeworks has welcomed two new Life Readiness Coaches! We are lucky to have both Tina and Melinda join us.
Celestina Anino is from Tampa, FL but moved to Camden after completing her B.S. in Psychology and Criminal Justice at The Florida State University. She then pursued an M.A. in Criminal Justice at Rutgers Camden University. Tina has fallen in love with the city after having been here for the past 4 years.
