The Early Years…

I was born and raised in Sanford, NC. Throughout my childhood, I was always involved in sports, specifically basketball, volleyball and track-n-field. I am a proud Eagle of North Carolina Central University where I received both my undergraduate (1999) and graduate (2005) degrees .

The Present Years

I am a married mother of 3. I love watching sports. I especially enjoy watching my kids play! I’m normally the loudest one in the stands! In 2003, I took a huge leap and landed in an elementary school to began a career in School Counseling which I continue to do today! Turns out, it was one of the best leaps I’ve ever made!

My Why…

I find such joy in working with children and I’m constantly looking for new and exciting ways to reach them. So what did I do next? You guessed it! I took another leap into unfamiliar territory and published my first book, Someday… in 2019!

What’s Next…

I’ve released my 2nd book, “Go On, Girl!” in 2020 and I’ve just released my 3rd book, Malik & Mya: The Career Day Quest. I plan to continue creating stories that provide motivation, encouragement and confidence in children and will also serve as a resource for parents and educators.
