💡 How It Started
Deborah is a proud first-generation college graduate. Raised in a single-parent home, she watched her mother work long hours as a CNA just to make ends meet.
College was always the dream—but paying for it? That felt out of reach.
🚫 No Savings. No Guide. Just Grit.
When it came time to apply to college, Deborah had no financial safety net, no blueprint, and no one to walk her through the process.
But what she did have?
Drive.
Determination.
And a belief that she had to figure it out—by any means necessary.
📚 She Cracked the Code
Deborah stayed up late researching scholarships, writing essays, and applying again and again.
Her hustle paid off.
She was accepted to Florida State University (FSU)
—and won major scholarships, including the Burger King and McDonald’s awards.
🎓 Turning Success Into Strategy
After earning her degree, Deborah spent over a decade as an educator—teaching, coaching, and leading.
Now, she consults with school districts across the country, helping them implement research-based literacy solutions. She’s also a children’s book author, committed to making learning accessible and empowering.
