Ginger Wright

Meet the new Orientation Specialist for TECTA-ETSU, Ginger Wright. I am a native to east Tennessee and a recent graduate of ETSU. I have worked with young children in many settings over the past 10 years. I have two delightful young children, Corbin and Kayla. They inspire me in teaching adults about young children and what is appropriate. My son has also inspired me to be a strong advocate for inclusion and awareness of autism, epilepsy, and all special needs. My husband, Ben, is currently studying to be a health professional. I also enjoy gardening, cooking, technology, and most of all spending time with my family. My goal is through teaching adults who care for young children we are advocating the importance of the profession and bringing awareness to the need for quality care.
