About

I am currently Deputy Superintendent of Educational Services in the Greater Chicago Area. I have been dedicated to educating youth for more than 23 years. I started out as a psychology instructor for Southern University of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  I eventually moved to Racine Unified School District of Racine, Wisconsin. There I served as teacher and administrator for 20 years. I earned my PhD from Cardinal Stritch University of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  When possible, I find time to play Jazz in local venues. It allows me to escape the pressures of life.
