      Greetings,

      I am a native of Hattiesburg, MS. I am a grateful mother of four beautiful children, Kai (12), Kaleb (7), Vaia (6), and Kavai (1). I am a devoted mother, daughter, wife, sister, and educator. I have enjoyed teaching Piano, Spanish, Voice, Clarinet, and tutoring for the past 18 years. I received my Bachelors of Science in Mass Communication and Masters of Education in the Art of Teaching from William Carey University. Additionally, I received my Masters of Art in Creative Writing, English, and Poetry from Southern New Hampshire University.  I enjoy helping others, community service, learning, reading, journaling, spending time with family, and family vacations. My favorite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".

      Favor your way,

      Kia
