Ta’Kia has 5 years of experience in working with youth who struggle in school due to circumstances inside and outside of school. Every student's challenge may differ but the one thing that is consistent is that they are experiencing emotional and behavioral challenges that affect more than one area of their life. She previously worked at a behavioral institute with children who had been temporarily placed in a day treatment program, which acted as an alternative school due to behavior. Additionally, Ta’Kia has also worked with individuals who have been impacted by drugs/addiction. 

Ta’Kia believes that anything is possible if you can dream or envision it. When it comes to Ta’Kia’s hobbies & interests, Ta’Kia takes pleasure in doing anything artistic. This would include: creating painting from free pouring paint, decorating or planning a surprise event, to envision ways to engage with different people. Making connections is one of the most important things we can do as humans.
