My life’s mantra is to impact every family I encounter. It can be collaborating directly with parents and children personally or in schools, businesses, and community engagement. My mission has been to equip families through education and economic empowerment. As a child, playing school every day was how I did my homework and study; however, my students were only visible to my eyes. After leaving corporate America as an Accountant and successfully launching and operating a child development center for 20 years, it was when I learned that dreams do come true. Education has always been important to me, allowing me to use it as a vehicle to excel in life and share the ride with children and their parents.

 

It was imperative to bring my children alongside me to provide a mirror that reflects resilience, tenacity, and work ethic while being one of their examples of success in both life and business. Starting early, focusing on cultivating their skills, and teaching them to use their gifts and talents to be successful throughout life and enjoy what they do in the process has been by far one of my proudest accomplishments to date. Yes, I am honored to be their first teacher and see the proven success of my two academic scholars, business moguls, and philanthropists.
