I like questions. I love art. Basketball stole my heart first, but music has been my constant companion ever since.

I started working at 12 years old. Experience has always been a great source of knowledge for me. My mom is my true hero, she has taught me how to laugh through the hardest times.

When I was younger, the idea of becoming an educator never crossed my mind. In fact, when I started university, I struggled with reading. Learning to read at that stage was one of the toughest challenges I’ve ever faced. The pressure was on and I was paying the bill. I really do feel that we can learn anything we truly want to. That experience drives me to help others unlock their potential.

On the daily, I do not like to rush or even worry about the past or future. I love being around trees and often read or write in the park. I have a deep respect for the land and all species. Sometimes I write poems to express this.

Friendships and human connection have always been my compass, I see everyone as a teacher. With this thinking, life is interesting beyond my imagination.

I will leave you with a quote from one of my favourite authors.
