---
A Houston ISD product, I attended 5 public schools (shoutout Welch Warriors), prior to graduating from The Kinkaid High School (Go Falcons), leading me to serve as a first-generation college student, then graduate, then home owner. Many successes birthed from passionate, caring teachers/coaches/counselors, along with foundational ethics instilled by my mother, late grandmother, late Pastor, and a host of foster parents/friends. I love to my two older brothers and younger sister, especially, as we were often mistaken for fraternal twins.
Academically, I hold: B.S., Philosophy of Law and Ethics (minor: Legal Studies), M.S., Education Policy, M.S., Teaching, + background in education research/finance. I have written educational policy briefs, completed multiple and extensive research papers using data software programs, such as SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Science). As a former Collegiate Scholar-Athlete, I offer a well-rounded, passionate goal-oriented approach to each family.
While I have professional leadership experience in education, serving as Assistant Principal/Founding School Leader/Head Football/Basketball Coach, my most impactful memories occurred during my time working individually with students - having instructed Math at both Public Charter (KIPP, YES Prep) and Independent Schools, including my Alma Mater the Kinkaid School.

I look forward to serving you and/or your family,

Be Blessed

As an undergraduate at a tier 1 research university, I took 4 different courses designed to increase student performance by perfecting optimal study/organizational habits.

Finally, as an involved member of my college community and the local community, I have co-facilitated multiple seminars on how to increase student performance through changing their organizational skills. Using physical, pre-made organizational tools, I aim to increase student awareness of their own preferred study methods in grades 5-12 and college aged students.
