I have been teaching high school students in Detroit since 1976, which has brought me many rewards. One of which is helping students discover their strengths and unique skills in order to maximize their potential. At Grand Valley State University, I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree. My Master’s of Education and Education Specialist degree in Administration were earned at Wayne State University.

My name is Alexandra Guzman and I am the District Compliance Coordinator/ Pupil Accountant for WAY Program. I grew up in Southwest Detroit and attended Wayne State University. I have worked in schools for around 13 years. Throughout these years I have worked in many positions; as a Special Education aide, Bilingual Paraprofessional, Office Assistant, Parent/Community Liaison, Office Manager, School Accounting, Payroll and Pupil Accountant. I started working at WAY Academy in Southwest Detroit as an Administrative Assistant in 2018. Within all of the different positions I have held I have really enjoyed working with both students and parents but most importantly the community of Southwest Detroit. It was difficult for me to move positions because I had a special place in my heart when it came to working with both the parents and students from the community. I now work at a district level because it was a better fit for my family but I do try to stay involved with the community.
