Alumni Spotlight: Lauren Sitarchuk '14
Lauren Sitarchuk is an alumna of Woodlynde School’s Class of 2014 and currently attends The University of the Arts majoring in painting with a minor in art therapy.
Lauren first came to Woodlynde seeking a learning environment that would assist with her ADHD and reading and speech needs.
She says that learning to manage and prioritize schoolwork in conjunction with her diagnoses were uniquely beneficial aspects of her Woodlynde education, and Lauren attributes the strategies learned here to her current success in the college setting. “I am really grateful that I had teachers who pushed me to work hard in my classes and who cared about my success.” Another strength that Lauren correlates with her Woodlynde experience is self-confidence. “As a child, I was so quiet and withdrawn, but now I am able to speak up and advocate for myself.”
