Meet Our Staff
Chris Hyson – Assistive Technology Manager
Chris,
a 1999 graduate of Princeton University, came to the Academy in 2003 after
diverse experiences in the insurance and museum fields. In 2004, he completed
the certificate program in Assistive Technology Applications through Cal State,
Northridge. Over his tenure at the Academy, Chris has had the opportunity
to serve as an instructor for most of the courses; he can most often be found
leading Advanced Computers and Assistive Technology
in the Workplace. In addition to classes, he makes sure that our assistive
technology is current (or better) and offers help with general technology issues.
Outside of the Academy, Chris provides assistive device and software training
for Philadelphia CareerLink staff and others in and around The Sierra Group community.
Louise Clark – Administrative Assistant
Louise
came to the Academy as a student in 2006 with degree from Immaculata University
and a background in management and life skills. Her talents were quickly recognized
by Academy staff, and she joined the team in 2007 performing a variety of administrative
tasks. Within months of her start, Louise spearheaded our drive to contact
new consumers using cutomized databse software. In addition to secretarial
work, Taste of Technology scheduling, and file management, Louise is also the
Academy’s receptionist. Louise is the first person you see when you visit the
Academy — always willing to assist students, visitors, or coworkers in need.
