Meet our February Specialist of the Month: Ammie Webb



This month, we’re celebrating Ammie Webb, a dedicated and passionate Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates (JMG) specialist from Ogemaw Heights High School in Michigan Works! Region 7B. Over the past 14 months, Ammie has made a lasting impact on the youth she serves. Her journey to becoming a JMG specialist is unique, shaped by her background and her personal drive to help students succeed.


With a diverse background that includes over 20 years in the Navy and substitute teaching in Florida, Ammie’s transition to JMG was a natural fit. Having worked with high school students through the Navy ROTC scholarship program, she knew helping students succeed was her calling. When the JMG role was presented to her, she immediately recognized it as the perfect opportunity. 


What motivates Ammie the most in her role is simple: the students. She thrives on watching them grow, overcome challenges, and succeed. “I feel fulfilled,” she says, noting that when students come back after graduating and share their successes, it’s the greatest reward. Knowing that she played a role in their progress and that they are on the right track is what keeps Ammie passionate about her work.


For Ammie, JMG is incredibly important for today’s youth because it gives them someone who will help them see the possibilities for their future. "They need someone that will let them know that there are options for them," she explains. JMG’s unique approach empowers students to explore careers, continue their education, or enter the workforce, providing the guidance and encouragement they need to thrive.


Outside of her work, Ammie enjoys reading, hiking, and participating in outdoor activities. She’s also in the process of building a new house, which is an exciting and fulfilling project for her. Ammie has two sons, ages 13 and 15, one of whom is a freshman at the high school where she works. She also has a cat named Callie, who is known for her strong attitude!


Congratulations, Ammie, on being named our February Specialist of the Month and thank you for all the incredible work you do!
