    MY COLLEGE DEGREES & CERTIFICATIONS, TEACHING AND/OR PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

    I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Corporate Communications with a Concentration in Psychology from Queens College of Charlotte and hold a Master’s Degree in School Counseling K-12 from North Carolina Central University.

    MY PHILOSOPHY AS AN EDUCATOR

    As the proud School Counselor of MINA Charter School, my desire is that all students believe and live by the MINA mantra! I want students to believe they are beautiful (inside and out), they are loved (at school, home and in their communities) and they are special!

    MY HOBBIES, INTERESTS & THINGS I DO OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL

    I love to travel, workout, visit coffee shops and enjoy renovating a 100 year old historic home!

    SOMETHING PEOPLE MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO LEARN ABOUT ME

    I would love to buy a school bus, renovate it with my family into a beautiful house on wheels and drive across the country to visit all of the national parks!
