I have over 25 years of experience in education. I graduated from Howard University with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology, before getting my teachers certification. I received my Masters of Education in School Leadership from Cambridge College and a Masters of Education in School Counseling from the University of West Alabama. I have worked in elementary, middle and high school as a teacher and school counselor. As an elementary school teacher, I specialized in the teaching of reading and language arts. My love and excitement for reading followed me into the classroom which allowed me to have great success with struggling readers. As a school counselor, I used bibliotherapy to help students see themselves in characters and learn strategies to overcome various obstacles. When I ran out of books with the topics needed, I wrote my own coping skills book for kids. I help students identifying their learning styles, study skills, and much more while understanding and addressing underlying social and emotional barriers to success.

My hobbies include reading, researching, and hanging out with my family and dog. I enjoy watching gymnastics, track and field, and baseball. I have been a mom of athletes and enjoy helping student athletes shine academically.
