My teaching knowledge came from my cosmetology experience 28 years ago. I started to teach Cosmetology an then I became an educator and technical trainer for companies like Revlon and Hair Club for Men and Paul Mitchell Schools. I saw a need after having injured myself that our youth needed help developing their ability to feel good about their self. I came up with Listen Dream and Think. It will help youth learn who they are and how to be positive when making decisions for them, their peers and their communities. I now have 2 schools where I teach Listen Dream and Think as a after school program for at-risk youth.
