Experience

It's my passion, my purpose, and my love to TEACH! By day, part of my time consists of me being a counselor, and I work with youth and families who need intervention. I also work with inner-city schools on behavior support. My other time is spent as an empowerment (motivational) speaker to teens and families, as well as a guest lecturer at universities on youth and family development, urban education, and social justice. I have a graduate background in Urban Education- I taught English, Social Psychology and Family Development (counseling.) I love the work that I do and I also have a passion for teaching YOU English and writing fundamentals, too. Some days, I miss being in the classroom...so, that's where you come in. All of my work encompasses self-empowerment and self-care and is geared towards youth and family development. I'm also a published author! Writing, talking, and writing again are my passion. Reminders that I tell myself quite OFTEN: Michael- you're only human. Give yourself grace and let your humanity show! When you're in tough times, remember that It's the hottest fire that makes the hardest steel; so, don't give up! Oh, and just when the Caterpillar thought life was over, she became a butterfly. Hmm.. Perhaps the butterfly is proof that you can go through a great deal of darkness, yet become something beautiful. So, shine on, my friends. Shine on! I look forward to serving you. Be well!
