Cifelli’s desire to work in education and help young people began in college. She graduated from Edward Little High School in 2001 and was a first generation college student at Bates College. While she was in college she studied in South Africa. After graduating from Bates in 2005, she worked for a short period as an Education Technician while she earned her Master’s degree in Counselor Education at the University of Southern Maine. Her first job as a School Counselor was at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School. She transitioned back to Edward Little High School after five years where she has been actively involved in leadership opportunities in the Auburn school system for the past four years.

GHS is excited to welcome Cifelli to its team of highly talented educators in service to the students of Gorham.
