My background in education includes classroom teaching, working as a citywide staff developer for the City of New York, and being the administrative leader of a talented and gifted K-8 school in East Harlem. I hold a school administration and supervision certification, and a Master's degree in Instructional Technology and Media. I currently work as a private consultant in Atlanta, Georgia. The Books of Choice Project (The BOC Project) LLC specializes in providing reading materials featuring African American and Latino authors.
