Biographical Information

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. After earning my B.S. from Spelman College I worked for Aetna Life and Casualty as an EDP Auditor for 3 ½ years. I eventually made my way back here to Atlanta and the wonderful world of education. My entire educational career has been with Fulton County Schools, starting as a substitute teacher, progressing through many areas; middle school science teacher, assistant principal, ESOL counselor and now as High School Graduation Coach. Thus far, the position of High School Graduation Coach has been the most rewarding position.
