Getting to Know Lisa Spearman

Name: Lisa Spearman

City/State:  Fort Myers, Florida

This month we are proud to honor Lisa Spearman from Fort Myers, Florida as our Coordinator of the Month. Lisa has been with Twinn Palms for one and a half years. She was nominated this month for her exemplary ability to go above and beyond for her students.

Here is a little more about our August Coordinator of the month, Lisa Spearman. Congratulations on a job well done!

What have you learned as a Homestay Coordinator with Twinn Palms?

Families are changed by hosting a student and students are changed by the experience. Also, I love that I have been able to watch students mature and develop into adulthood. I love celebrating their accomplishments.

What are some of your favorite moments with your students?

I enjoy when my students are actively involved in both in school and extra curricular activities.  I am so happy and proud of them when they achieve their goals and are actively engaged in the Twinn Palms experience.

What do you recommend as the number one “must have” for a host family?

Patience and love for others would be the must have for host families. A great rice cooker and a local chinese food store are a close second.
