ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I believe that we should give back to our community. I volunteer at the elementary school level to help students with their reading and math. I volunteered at Jamestown Elementary in Hephzibah Ga and Village Green Elementary in Port St. Lucie Fl. I love seeing children succeed and both my children are educators in Richmond County.
