Some of the programs she implemented include school gardens and student led programming such as STEM Ambassadors, STEM Ambassador Alumni Network, and Roots & Shoots, which have now been duplicated in many South Fulton schools today. As a result of her work, she received the Teach On Project Award for Excellence in Education.
