Ms. Serena Bethea is originally from Houston, Texas but has spent most of her adolescent and adult life in NC.  She is just beginning her journey this school year as the school social worker for Lynn Road Elementary School.  She received her undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice and her masters degree in Social Work at North Carolina Central University.  She is a LCSWA hoping to one day specialize in the areas of bereavement, suicide, and domestic violence.  Ms. Bethea is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Soroity Inc.  She is a full time mother to two beautiful girls aged 1 and 5.  She loves spending time with her girls doing any and every adventure imaginable!  She is a big movie goer, and she also loves the color pink!   

     She has always been passionate about taking care of children from a young age, leading her to become a professional nanny throughout her undergraduate and graduate studies.  When entering college she was unsure of her major but knew she wanted to help people and work with children.  During her graduate studies she became adamant about becoming an elementary school social worker, and she is so thrilled to have the opportunity to serve the children and families of Lynn Road Elementary School!
