Literacy Leaders:

Antonio D. Capelj is a supplemental instructor and accounting tutor at Macomb Community College. He is also currently enrolled at MCC, with Wayne State University not far out. Antonio is due to receive an Associate of Business, and then finish his Bachelor of Business with an emphasis on accounting and finance by Fall 2026. Going back a bit, many of his interests were forged during his time as a student at Utica High School - taking advantage of the offered CTE (Career Technical Education) courses and DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) club for all of the years it was offered. He credits his foray with these resources to have fast-tracked what he eventually wanted to do - become an accountant (and not the stereotypical boring kind, but the Ben Affleck kind). According to Antonio, "As a student, I am still learning - but I will do my best to share my insights and knowledge gained from studying and continual learning. Hopefully, after everything is all said and done, you may gain the insights I have and we will learn together."

Heather Mayernik, Reading Support Faculty at Macomb Community College, is excited to share this club with Macomb Community College. Heather has a Graduate Certificate (GC) in Educational Technology from Michigan State University. Heather also enjoys learning about the experiences and views of others. She hopes this opportunity will help students discover new ways to learn and connect with industry professionals, faculty, staff, and other students.
