Birdsell, of Avon, graduated with an Associate in Applied Science degree in Administrative Office Technology. In nominating Birdsell, her instructor stated, “One of the best things about teaching students is watching them grow and flourish. They may be unsure of themselves in the beginning but there is always an eagerness to learn and be successful. April is no exception because all of these traits describe her also.”
