About Me

I am a 26-year educator. I entered as a novice, and my goal is to leave the profession as a master teacher, having fulfilled my calling. I feel like I’ve taught a little of everything over the years, but my calling card is that of a Spanish instructor.

I’ve had an aptness for writing since childhood, so I studied journalism in my undergraduate years at Mississippi College (Go Choctaws!) to nurture those skills. Little did I know that I would minor in Spanish and that this decision would open a door to a long-term career in education, landing my first teaching job at a private ministerial school, Abundant Life Christian Academy, in Jackson, Mississippi.

Since then, I would need more than two hands to count all the schools, programs, and private teaching venues at which I have served in an educator capacity, each experience being a learning and a growing opportunity.

I am not a complainer but a solution-driven person. Some may confuse these two types of personalities without knowing that the latter is motivated through passions for positive change. This blog gives me the opportunity to, as I say, give my two-cents worth on a variety of topics. Certainly, the education arena is at the forefront as is evident with my first blog. However, other topics that interest me are political matters, community issues, and spiritual and cultural awareness. My plan is to publish new articles from time-to-time.
