With over a decade of dedicated experience in educational settings, I've had the privilege of serving as both an Assistant and a Lead Teacher. My professional journey has taken me through K0, K1, and K2 Inclusion Classrooms, as well as Center-Based Sub-Separate Classrooms. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Moderate Disabilities.

Throughout my classroom experience, I identified a significant gap in accessible literacy resources for students of color. I also saw how many children struggled with self-confidence regarding their natural hair. As a passionate advocate for hair education and a devoted educator, I recognized an opportunity to bridge these two critical areas.

At HairitEd, our mission is to foster confidence in young learners by creating educational resources that resonate with their lived experiences. We believe that integrating hair education into early learning can empower children to embrace their identities and strengthen their literacy skills at the same time.
