I reside in Hampton, Georgia. I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. I have three brothers and three sisters. I have one daughter, Shariya Queen, born September 2024. A few of my accomplishments in education:
I received my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education with a Reading Endorsement at Kennesaw State University.
I have been teaching elementary school for 8+ years as a classroom teacher.Â
My professional goal is to become leader in education that enhances teachers pedagogy and student’s growth.Â
