Mission Statement: To inspire children to embrace education and to instill the power of self-motivation, so teachers can teach and students can learn. My philosophy: It is important that a person discovers what moves them because it can become a powerful driving force to succeed. A person having a purpose also possesses a source of strength during difficult times. Education is the catalyst and the foundation of a successful life, but a person must also be willing to work and sacrifice in order to reach their full potential. I am a certified teacher with 8 years experience in first, second and third grade. I am also a former recording artist and public speaker. It is my desire to use my skills to inspire children to do well in school and see the importance of work. If you or anyone you know is in need of a public speaker for a youth event, please do not hesitate to call. If you do not have a budget for a public speaker but truly feel the need for one, I would love to meet with you and provide some services for free.
