Staff Hello

Danielle Kraten is the new administrative assistant at KOREH L.A. A graduate of UCLA with a BA in English Literature, Danielle has an innate love of the written word. In addition to the classics, she also studied children’s literature at the University of Sussex in England – her favorite was J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan. She is looking forward to working with a great team that works so hard to boost children’s love of reading.

Staff Goodbye

Ashley Oliva has greatly enjoyed her year as an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow serving as a literacy coordinator for KOREH L.A. She is taking her service experience as a community leader to Israel where she will be for the next year to participate in the OTZMA program. OTZMA will allow her to volunteer in service-based cities throughout Israel, learn Hebrew, and live on a kibbutz. She will miss the relationships she has made with both her volunteers and LAUSD staff.

Ryan Hensman, an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow, would like to thank KOREH L.A., the volunteers and the school staff for this wonderful learning experience. He has gained new life and work skills that he will utilize in graduate school. Ryan is looking forward to becoming a high school educator.
