  In response to new requirements of the Washington DC Office of the State Superintendent of Education that Teachers and Expanded Home Caregivers who work in center-based and home-based child development facilities must earn an Associate degree in Early Childhood Education by December 2023, I developed the SMART Start Bridge Program. The SMART Start Bridge Program is a community-based pre-college support and preparation resource.

Worked together with the National Black Child Development Institute to prepare early childhood educators, including T.E.A.C.H. - DC scholarship applicants and participants for college enrollment and successful completion of associate and bachelor degree programs. Fostered a partnership with New Futures to provide financial support to young adults seeking access to a post-secondary education. Served as the Site Coordinator/College Advisor for the Office of the State Superintendent of Education’s DC College Application and Exploration Month Steering Committee.
