A proud Jamaican living in the US for almost 21 years, I love being outdoors, traveling, running, and gardening. Happily married with three adult sons and two granddaughters. We reside on the Southside of Chicago. I am a graduate of Chicago State University with a BA in Mathematics and MA in Special Education. I have been in education for over 20 years in both elementary and secondary education in rural and urban areas. Most recently I was a hybrid sped instructor for five years and before then a Gen. ed math teacher in CPS. I now have the privilege of being the assistant cross country coach doing what I love to do run. I am very thankful and excited to be part of the Shepard Astros family and district 218.
