Dr. Michele Vaughn
Dr. Michele Vaughn is the Founder & CEO of her own non-for profit organization, Teen & Single Mother Resource Center, Inc., empowering single mothers to become a role model for their children through the power of advanced education. Prior to the launch of this non-profit, Dr. Vaughn has eight years of diverse experience in higher education at the College of Lake County in Grayslake, IL, as a former recruiter and an Associate Dean. She works diligently to make education accessible by partnering with various community agencies to offer GED, ESL & Career Development for a population that was considered least likely to succeed but the most in need. Dr. Vaughan is now apart of John Maxwell Leadership University and will soon become a Certified Speaker, Leader and Coach.
Much of Dr. Vaughn’s passion in the field of education and human service stems from her own past struggle as a college dropout and former pregnant teen. She refused to surrender to the pressures of rejection, suicide, and uncertainty by making a decision to complete her education and become a well-equipped role model. Dr. Vaughn's story embodies the concept of failing forward: how different people respond to failure.
At movement ONE, Ms. Stallworth and Dr. Vaughn will co-present on the topics of making healthy life choices, winning success principles, and healthy relationships.
