#7: Master Teacher, Michael Suppa

Mostly everybody remembers their turning points in life. But in this DelRayVibe.com episode, Michael Suppa, an award winning teacher at Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS), talks about his turning point and how he overcame the fear he had when he went to Capitol Hill for the first time to discuss education policy with congressional staffers and members of US Congress as part of his Master Degree studies in Education Policy from George Mason University. Michael’s story, and the route his life and professional career have taken since that day on Capitol Hill, provide helpful insight to anyone looking for a dynamic career in politics, policy, or education. And Michael’s story seems to be a big reason he won Alexandria Chamber of Commerce’s inaugural “40 Under 40” award.
