Working with Earl was one of the best experiences of her life and taught her patience and respect for all people in all situations. When her parents, Randy and Jan, decided to open a GradePower Learning Center she knew she had to be a part of this exciting opportunity! Sarah has loved learning from an early age and graduated from an International Baccalaureate High School.

Kelly Haskins Araujo

Education Director

Kelly graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Family, Youth & Community Sciences and a minor in Communication Disorders. Kelly worked as a resident intern at the Gator Wesley Foundation during her time at UF. Through her work at the student ministry and her studies, Kelly knew her passion was to help others. She held an internship with the Urban Mission Training Center, a nonprofit organization that provided tutoring and mentorship to low-income elementary and middle school children in Ocala, FL. After this internship, Kelly joined the administrative team at Interfaith Emergency Services, a food pantry, homeless shelter, and school-backpack feeding program also located in Ocala. She initially provided administrative support to the family shelter, and later served as the volunteer coordinator. Her favorite part of working at Interfaith was sharing with kids, both in the classroom setting and volunteer groups, about the importance of giving back to the community and serving those less fortunate than themselves. When the opportunity to work with kids full-time presented itself through GradePower Learning, she was beyond excited! Kelly most enjoys helping students increase their confidence and truly believe in themselves, both inside and outside the classroom. Kelly enjoys theatre, music, and cheering on the Gators with her husband Jorge.
