Background

About Chereece Burrell

As a passionate Community Advocate, Mindfulness Advocate, and Youth Mentor, I am committed to empowering individuals and fostering positive change within my community. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Human Development & Family Sciences from the University of Connecticut, where I developed a deep understanding of human development and mental well-being. In my role as Reaching Back Coordinator for Hartford Promise, I guide students on their journey toward post-secondary education, equipping them with the skills and resources necessary to navigate challenges and seize opportunities. My experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) has enabled me to support children with Autism and developmental disabilities, creating a nurturing environment that promotes their growth and success. I am particularly proud of co-facilitating a mindfulness space at my former high school, which addresses the mental health needs of students during their transition back to in-person learning. You can learn more about this initiative here. Driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact, I am always eager to connect with fellow professionals who share a passion for community engagement and personal development. Let’s connect and explore opportunities to uplift our communities together!
