My offerings are vast and include media visits, classroom visits and homeschool or private school visits.

 

There are 2 sets of programs each developed around 1 of 2 books:

1: Pick Me! A Flower Awaits Her Destiny (fashioned around the Pick Me! Workbook)

2: Maker of the Light (fashioned around the SEL Discussion Questions)

I will look forward to reading from my published books, engaging in SEL Discussion

Q & A, and delivering art, writing, reading, math and science instruction alongside, or independent of, teachers on record.  

Offerings are also extended to Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA, and other organizations interested in developing literacy and other educational activities for youth.
