She is certified in Business Education with a Master of Science Degree in Education acknowledged for her completion of the Board Certification and was successful National Development Program from Chicago Public Schools and Chicago Teachers Union. In her career, she delighted in teaching and counseling students from the ages of one through seventy years of age.
When teaching preschool and kindergarten students, she was amazed at how enthusiastic they were about learning. As she watched them learn and grow, "Saluting You" became a reality. The poem actually captured what was happening in the class room that year. Where she taught, teachers were required to plan a play or skit for their students to perform on stage once a month.
As the author moved from grade levels, "The Graduates" was written at a time when students were experiencing test burnout and tons of anxiety. They delighted in brainstorming on how to turn the poem into a rap style performance. Suddenly, all of their test burn out and anxiety disappeared.
She enjoys communicating with people from all walks of life. Throughout the stages of her life, she has been able to reach people where they are in the form of writing articles, class reunion speeches, condolences, plays, poetry, prayers, resolutions, stories and graphics.ver menos
