Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to pour back into children from My neighborhood and to help continue to fuel the beauty industry.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I remember prepping my students for the state test! They were tired of me and my reviews. I fed them to ensure they could focus on the information and not being hungry! They all tried to throw me off by saying they didn’t pass when on all actuality they passed granting me a 100% pass rate! Not to mention they all prayed before the test.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off some debt, finish writing my book and publish it, offer hands on training classes for former students who just need a refresher course with me to pass the state board exam!
