Jeff White has been working in childcare and education since 2000. It's definitely one of his passions, with him feeling it's his calling and what he is meant to do for a career. He attended the University of Kentucky Community College and was certified in the Tennessee Early Childhood Training Alliance (TECTA). He enjoys making people laugh and has a beautiful 18 year old daughter, who recently started college at UTC. He is a Dallas Cowboys fan, enjoys bowling, going to the movies, Chinese food and spending time with family and friends.

"Queen" Liz Poindujour - Tom Joy Elementary

Sak Pase! Meet Liz, aka QUEEN! Yes, she does introduce herself as such because her self worth is not determined by others! She is a proud alumna of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga where she obtained a Bachelor of Science in Child and Family Studies. She joined the the Martha O'Bryan Center straight out of college as an AmeriCorps Service Member; eventually working her way up to a Site Coordinator. She is confident in her ability to make anything she puts her mind to a success. She works quickly, positively and efficiently because she loves what she does. Her hobbies include journaling, crafting, and socializing. She is ALL things Haitian. America is her birthplace, but Haiti is her bloodline. Basically, in the words of Maya Angelou, "I am a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me."
