About me (Chinelo Ochie)

My name is Mrs. Chinelo Ochie and I am one of the Talent Development teachers. I hold a bachelor and a master’s degrees in Architecture. My career started in Atlanta where I served as the Architectural Review Officer for the Department of Defense. I continued my career by working for several Architectural companies/firms. However, when my children were young I transitioned to teaching which was more practical for my then young family.  I realized that I love teaching and never went back to the industry.

 I have taught Drafting in several schools including Albany technical college where I held the position of Department Chair and Drafting Instructor.  I currently have over twenty years of experience teaching in education.

However, when the position of talent development teacher became open and was offered to me, I quickly accepted it. I felt that it is a great way to serve young people and channel them to the right direction. Please take a look at Talent Development course description for the list of numerous benefits that it has for your child.

I am married to Dr. Charles Ochie, a Professor and Director of Graduate School at Albany State University in Albany Georgia. We have four wonderful children. The older two are married with children. The younger two are still in college. We have three grandchildren.

 I look forward to having the opportunity to teacher and work with your child.
