Emily Marin is an education coordinator for The New England Center for Children’s (NECC) Francine Road residence. Marin was nominated by a colleague because she “is a strong education coordinator and stronger supervisor. She is a great role model for all employees and is very caring towards her students. She excels at making new staff and helpers feel comfortable on shift. She is truly an NECC superstar.”
