Additional Information

Dr. King has over 20 years of experience in teaching across various educational levels, including upper elementary, middle school (where she spent the majority of her career), high school, and college. While she has primarily taught science courses, she also has experience teaching math and history. Throughout her career, Dr. King has taught all disciplines of science at every grade level, including providing private tutoring to help students improve their standardized test scores.

In addition to her teaching, Dr. King has played a key role in facilitating training for science teachers at both the district and local school levels. She has written curriculum for science educators and contributed to the development of scoping and sequencing as part of district-wide initiative. Dr. King also homeschooled students within her community, integrating the Word of God as a central thread that connected all aspects of their learning. She organized field trips to broaden students’ understanding of the world, particularly for those who may not have had the opportunity to experience such learning opportunities otherwise.

Dr. King has written psychology course manuals, curriculum, and assessments for Tel Library, an independent organization providing study courses for students across that nation. She has also authored several books aimed at encouraging single mothers, reminding them that they are not alone on their journey. Additionally, she hosts virtual Bible studies, practical life workshops, and prayer calls to uplift and inspire single mothers. Her writings also offer encouragement to educators, and she dreams of one day writing devotionals that connect the heart of God with His children.

An active minister and teacher at her local church, House of David, a Covenant Church, Dr. King is deeply committed to her faith. She prioritizes family, cherishing time spent with her two daughters, Zowie and Lan’e King. Dr. King is dedicated to fostering in them a love of God and guiding them in prayer to discover their destiny and purpose. Together, they enjoy activities like eating out, shopping, and traveling, cherishing the unique bond they share as a family. Dr. King’s mission is to impart wisdom and strength to her daughters, preparing them to fulfill their divine purpose and experience the best that Heaven has to offer in their lives.
