What do you attribute your success to?
For over 23 years, Tiffany’s classroom has been a place where every day is an adventure. As an educator, she finds immense joy in pouring into young children, watching their eyes light up as they learn and helping them come into who they really are. This nurturing spirit comes naturally to Tiffany, the oldest of five, who put her own education on hold until her siblings finished college. Her dedication to making a difference is also woven through her 30-year journey as an author. Once a shy writer hesitant to share her work, she found her calling in performing her poetry and children’s books, realizing this talent was a gift to be shared with the world. What she loves most is giving her students what she never had: a patient, listening ear. By offering them respect and a voice, Tiffany inspires them as they figure out the world, proving that her influence extends far beyond the pages of her books.
