My post-secondary education career began at the University of Atlanta, where I received a Bachelor of Environmental Studies with a major in Geography. Several years later I continued my studies and obtained a Master of Science in Childhood Education from Daemen College in Amherst, New York. My thesis titled "The Relationship between Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) and Student Attendance" focused on the impact of indoor air pollution, student health, and its effect on their learning.
