Currently, I am an Early Head Start teacher in an urban area of Detroit, MI. I obtained my BA in Child Development with a minor concentration in Psychology and a certification in Child Welfare at Marygrove College in 2012. I also earned an AA in Early Childhood Education from Oakland Community College in 2009. I am a standing member of Kappa Gamma Pi, Psi Chi and Phi Theta Kappa, International Honor Societies and spend my spare time volunteering in support of various community organizations and tutoring both children and adults. Helping individuals blossom is a lifelong commitment.
Young minds are like flowers they blossom in different ways!

Hello Lady
I know this post is ahead of schedule but I would like to say thank you for all of your kind words. You are a very intelligent woman and I have really enjoyed reading your discussion posts, discussion responses, and your blog posts. Hopefully we will have more opportunities of being in the same courses again, but if not, I wish you the best of luck with all of your goals and dreams.
Thanks Tisha, I have enjoyed reading your post and gaining insight from your discussions and post also. I look forward to networking with you in the future even if we don’t have other courses together. I admire your will power and ability to thrive in today’s demanding society. Best of luck in everything that you do and in every child you touch!
