I graduated Valedictorian in 2014 from Cardinal Ritter College Preparatory High School. 

I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Agronomy- the study of crop and soils- from FAMU. Upon graduating I decided to pursue my childhood dream of “helping kids”; so, I began teaching in 2019.

I graduated with my Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Minority and Urban Education from FAMU. This degree program taught me how to combine my love for writing, understanding of child development, and the science of learning in order to create content that speaks to the learner and meets them where they are while encouraging them to rise to challenge. It is my goal to show readers that learning happens everyday - in and out of the classroom.

Author- I have written and published 5 children’s books since 2020; all books are available on Amazon.

Educator- Over the last six years I have worked as a K-12 teacher gaining valuable insights into the minds and hearts of young readers. During my years of service, I taught in Leon County, Florida; Indianapolis, Indiana; and here, in St. Louis, Missouri.

Curriculum Developer- I have developed and/or collaborated on several curriculums for small businesses, non-profit organizations, and educator professional development trainings. I have worked with clients/organizations in Atlanta, Georgia; Indianapolis, Indiana; and St. Louis, Missouri. Some local businesses I have worked with include I Define Me, A Red Circle, and the National Blues Museum. 

I believe in the importance of culturally relevant and culturally responsive pedagogy, ensuring that every child sees themselves reflected in the stories I create. My books often emphasize themes of gratitude, positivity, and critical thinking, encouraging children to explore their own thoughts and feelings in a safe and nurturing environment.

Through engaging narratives and vibrant illustrations, my goal is to create books that not only entertain, but also educate and inspire young minds through the power of storytelling. It is my desire to leave a lasting impact on the lives of young readers everywhere.
