New Staff

Happy November!  Thank you for the warm welcome; I am so excited to join the Independence Inc. team.  My name is Carly Leffelman, and I am the new Youth Transition Specialist.  Working with middle school and high school aged students has always been in my future plans.  It was my dream to do something extraordinary in a classroom, and Independence Inc. and the school districts I will be working with are allowing me to do just that.  The Youth Transition Program has been so much fun to develop, and it’s a blast getting to know the students from all over our service area. 

I received my degree from Minnesota State University, Mankato to teach Social Studies to grades 5-12.  My fiancé and I moved to Minot from Minnesota in June and we are planning a wedding for next summer.  What an exciting year!
