Twenty years of stories, tucked away in one very full filing cabinet. Pull open a drawer to read a page.
Education
A proud graduate of Richmond Public Schools, I started college at the University of Maryland, College Park, studying Computer Science. I had a moment of honesty pretty early on — computers weren't my niche; working with kids was. I transferred to Old Dominion University in 2000 and moved back to the Richmond area in 2004 after graduating.
The Classroom Years
I taught Social Studies in Henrico and Chesterfield Counties for two decades, working with hundreds of students. Along the way I served as department leader, safety chair, PR representative, and building liaison for district initiatives — concluding my career as International Baccalaureate Coordinator.
Beyond the Classroom
I was honored to sit on a pilot committee for teaching African-American History across the Commonwealth of Virginia, and contributed to the "Movement" textbook series.
A New Chapter
In 2024, I stepped away from the classroom to explore new paths — armed with the skills from 20 years of teaching and a love for storytelling.
