I am a graduate of two Universities, Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, and NOVA University in Davies, FL, holding a Ph.D./ABD from Temple and a Doctor of Education from NOVA. I love learning and am a lifelong learner. I also love children and see them as "little people" with the same aspirations to succeed as adults. My love for learning leads me to want to share knowledge with children as well as adults. I am a retired principal of an elementary school in Orange County FL. I have experience teaching, tutoring, and peer coaching to name a few. Before relocating to Florida, I was a city official and a member of the mayor's cabinet in Philadelphia, PA. where I was a director of a City Department. My experiences are broad yet small enough for me to desire to help others to seek and fulfill their full potential. I believe that my success depends on the success of those I tutor and/or teach; therefore I approach each child and adult where they currently are and where they have expressed a desire to be. My goal is to always make a difference.
