I am an Adjunct Associate College Professor at Madonna University. For the past 40 years, I have been inspired to be an educator, (my spiritual gift) teaching at several different universities, colleges, public schools and for Oakland Schools (ISD) working on numerous projects supporting instructional initiatives, tutoring at the Oakland Opportunity Academy and its Technical Centers. However, most of these educational institutions are operated by women! From each of those women they have enhanced my educational experiences as an educator and person growth from their thoughtfulness and wisdom.
