I was born and raised on Buffalo’s Eastside, part of a large family, and a product of an influential community. Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu!

I am a passionate professional and happy to exist as such. My passion and support are for the well-being of all children and those who nurture them. I support teachers and parents/guardians. I am blessed to have the opportunity to influence and safeguard childhood experiences. I am dedicated to the cultivation of the “whole child” and helping children to become tenacious, while acting with integrity that is present on all levels. I come to you with over 20 years of experience in education. I have gained much from my work and have been honored to see the growth of children and their families. I optimistically see this as the brightness needed for a cohesive world.

Teaching and learning go hand in hand. The best teachers are lifetime learners. I look forward to learning and experiencing the joys of growing together. I join Tapestry Charter School embracing the mission and the work it requires. I am happy to be of service and come to the table as an invested partner.
