Dr. Terica is an entrepreneur, consultant, and advocate who served in some of the largest urban school districts across the country. She has 18+ years of experience as an educator and leader in Memphis, TN, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, M.D., and Nashville, TN.

Her own K-12 educational experiences in Memphis City Schools, the Catholic Diocese of Memphis Schools, and Shelby County Schools have all primed her to be a voice for those often found on the margins. Had it not been for some of those experiences, she wouldn’t be able to identify with the realities that many students face today in our schools.

In 2018, she founded APEX Education Consulting Solutions, LLC to address the needs of learners in the K-12 community and beyond. APEX is a small, locally-owned, and certified Minority-Owned Business Enterprise in the city and county.

ABOUT APEX EDUCATION CONSULTING SOLUTIONS

As early as I could remember, I was an avid reader and writer. As a child, I took pleasure in a good book, possessed an inquisitive mind, and truly enjoyed learning. However, the oppressive nature of schooling caused me to question many elements within the K-12 system that left me feeling on the outskirts. The one thing that saved me during my academic journey was the ability to read, write, and think. Based on my lived experiences, I believe that literacy is liberation.

We cannot discuss equity without addressing how to accelerate literacy in schools for students. As a result, I began my entrepreneur journey in 2018 and founded APEX Education Consulting Solutions, LLC. APEX Education Consulting Solutions, LLC offers a comprehensive suite of educational services. From professional development to student solutions, our primary goal is to eradicate inequities by addressing the learning needs of students (i.e., literacy, school climate, remote learning, etc.), especially in communities that are underserved and resourced. Students are our focus, and we meet their needs through teacher professional development, customized student solutions, support for families, and community engagement.
