I am the proud mother of 2 beautiful children that motivate me everyday to be better than who I was yesterday. My daughter Deja is in the 9th grade and my son Cameron is in the 6th. They are very active with sports and other school activities. They are very smart and loving.

After graduating from college I never entered the field of aviation as this was not my passion. I longed to teach and coach. I was real estate for a while, then default mortgaging before becoming an educator in 2013. In my second year of teaching I was given a 5th grade reading position where my love and appreciation for reading was rekindled. My aunt was a librarian for over 30 years and she used to read to me and encourage reading even in my leisure time. She along with the other strong beautiful women of my family strongly believed in a quality education. However, it was her influence and commitment to expansions of reading and all its wonders that drove my desire to follow in her footsteps and do the same for my students and other children.
