Welcome Readers,
I was born in the Caribbean and lived most of my life there,except for
four years about eighteen years ago when I lived in the US. I wanted new and
different experiences in my life and chose the US because I had family
members living there. While I lived there I continued my teaching career and
completed a Masters' Degree in Education.
When my son was one year old I returned home and worked as a Wood
Technologist and completed a Masters' Degree in Plant Science. I soon
switched back to Education and stayed there working and completing my
studies to the Ph. D level.
I am now a single parent with two children, my son 19 and my daughter 12. For the past
ten years I have been working independently as a Consultant and that has
given me many opportunities to work with parents, teachers and young people.
I design and implement workshops and training sessions, I counsel and I
lead support groups. My passion is Social and Emotional Learning.
My other passion is writing. I self-published three booklets for parents and
teachers. I write whenever the spirit moves me now.
Writing a self-help guide I think is a good way to put together what I have
learned over the years both in my work and in my life.I hope you find
something useful here.
