My Bio

Hello and welcome! I'm originally from the beautiful island of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, and I am the CEO and Founder of Anger Management of the Upstate and Emotional Elevation with Kady Jacobs. For over two decades, my professional life has been dedicated to instruction, facilitation, and empowerment. My journey began in the classroom, where I taught special education and self-contained 4th and 5th-grade classes, as well as regular education. This foundation quickly expanded into facilitating groups for various non-profits throughout the greater Greenville, SC area. I truly enjoy the process of creating, developing, and facilitating dynamic curriculums and presentations tailored to address emotional management needs for groups of any size.
