I am a graduate of St. Leo University. I received my B.A and M.S. degrees in Criminal Justice. I also obtained my associate degree from Berean Institute. I majored in Business Administration with an emphasis in accounting. I am a PhD candidate at Walden University with a major in Public Policy with an emphasis in Criminal Justice. Besides my education, I was a substitute teacher for grades Pre- K through high school, in Chesapeake Virginia. I also did some traveling to the U.S. Virgin Islands where I taught SAT Prep Math to 9-12, GED Prep classes to male inmates as well as taught basic Belly dancing. I also tutored private clients in high school and remedial college courses. I am most passionate about seeing students' excitement when improving on reading, math, English as well as writing. I also am passionate about doing Storytime, when I am online. To get responses from listeners wanting to know when I will do another one is really exciting. This sets a perfect foundation for a lifelong learner. I have many hobbies that I am passionate about and share with others. I am a gardener who studies and grows different herbs and vegetables, that I use in making jams, salsa, salves, natural remedies, and juices. I have studied and do a variety of dances. I used to be a former Zumba Instructor. I am a belly dancer as well as dance with two Caribbean dance troupes in Virginia and the Virgin Islands. My students and I have fun while studying subjects that have been a challenge. Suggesting a variety of ways to teach is the key. It also teaches them to have a better education necessary for an improved quality of life. I also understand and appreciate different learning methods, in person or online, because I was a student who experienced both. In my spare time, I'm a writer in which I wrote and published five books, I enjoy reading, traveling, dancing, gardening, researching diverse ways of natural living, cooking, and doing crafts. I also am an avid stargazer who enjoys exploring the Universe.
