The New EducationWorks Staff @ WWHS


Chaliyah Valentine

I was born and raised in Camden. I attended Molina Elementary School, Pyne Point Middle School, and Creative Arts High School. I attended Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ as a sociology major and graduated in December 2010.

Physical fitness has always been a hobby growing up. I use to take part in Tae-bo, via VHS. LOL.I am currently working on my group fitness instructor certification so that I can extend my love for fitness to others. Today, I can say that I want to pursue a career in physical fitness/ nutrition and helping to create obesity prevention programs.


Hi everyone, my name is Chante Hines. I'm a program assistant for EducationWorks program at Woodrow Wilson. I love kids and hope that I can affect a great number of young adults this year. I was born and raised in Camden, NJ. I graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School so it is a great pleasure to return and help others achieve their goals, and see them onto the next level. I look forward to meeting everyone and hope all have a good year!
