Teacher Life
I have been an Early Childhood Educator for the past twelve years! I graduated from the University of La. at Lafayette with a B.S. in E.C.E. and am certified to teach PreK - 3rd grade. I started as a reading interventionist to K through 2nd graders. Then, transitioned into the Kindergarten classroom in the New Orleans Public School System. In 2019/2020, I was honored to receive Teacher of the Year at my elementary school. There is never a dull day in Kindergarten!
Mom Life
As a Kindergarten teacher, I was a daily momma to at least 25 kids per year. Then, in 2014, a bunch a trouble came into this world at 7 lbs. and 19 inches long. She is my beautiful daughter, Jovi Joy, and my forever motivation and inspiration. She makes 10 years old soon and is truly a character I’m blessed to know and love. She is joined by my precious little man who just made one…and talk about the cutest trouble you'll ever know and love! Being a single mom has it’s challenges as well as it’s major rewards. It is an experience and a gift that teaches me continuously. Being a teacher has made me a better mom and being a mom has grown me tremendously as a teacher!
Author Life
The best moms and teachers are the ones who lean on each other and stay teachable. About a year and a half ago, I was given the opportunity to share my experiences, views, and tips in writing and become a blog contributor to Citizen.Education and EducationPost.org before launching my own blog this year! I am also in the process of working to publish my very first children’s book…so stay tuned here to insight and updates on my author journey!
