The New MS Education Specialist, Riana Lurice Prudente.
Meet Your New Education Specialist!
Hi, I’m Riana Lurice Prudente, and I’m excited to join the Educational Talent Search team as an Education Specialist!
I attended Park Middle School and Lincoln High (2017), and earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2020. I previously taught middle school history with Omaha Public Schools, and I love helping students discover their strengths, set goals, and explore opportunities for college and career success.
When I’m not at work, you’ll usually find me traveling, keeping up with fashion and social media trends, or enjoying a mocha at a local coffee shop nearby. Being back in Lincoln feels like coming home, and I’m excited to connect with students, help them discover their potential, and be part of this wonderful team!
We’re excited to announce that the ETS Clubs & Study Hall have officially restarted at all of our target schools! Join us after school for fun, engaging lessons. In addition to activities designed to build skills, spark curiosity, and connect with fellow Scholars. Check out the schedule above!
