About
I was originally inducted into the Honors Society while earning my Bachelor’s in Business Administration at DeVry University. Since then, I’ve continued my academic and professional journey by earning a Master of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration and a Master of Arts in Teaching in Special Education with High Distinction.
I currently serve as a Special Education Inclusion Teacher and AmeriCorps Member in Chicago Public Schools, where I support diverse learners through inclusive and data-driven instruction. In addition, I am the owner of T-Consultants & Money Management, a tax and financial consulting business I’ve operated for over 12 years, a small business I founded to provide tax preparation, financial education, and business consulting services. My goal is to continue combining leadership, education, and entrepreneurship to make a positive impact in both my community and the classroom. I plan to pursue a Doctorate in Learning Behavioral Special Education to expand my leadership, research, and impact in the field of special education.
