A good education opens any door, provides you with a deeper passion to follow your dreams and discover the world, and allows you to be free and unrestrained in being your best at all times, especially when generating profound and innovative ideas! ~ Cherry-Anne & Melanie Gildharry Cherry-Anne Gildharry grew up in a small village in Trinidad and Tobago named Barrackpore, and her wife Melanie Gildharry grew up in Mint Hill just outside of Charlotte, NC. We are both very proud of where we came from, but extremely proud of where life has taken us thus far. We are thankful for all of our childhood experiences, including the challenging ones, as all of these have impacted and shaped our lives immensely as well as provided us with a deeper desire to get a great education. Most importantly, we know that it is our personal values and beliefs, innate ambition, our passion for a profound education and our intrinsic motivation that have always been our driving forces in doing the best that we can at all times! While it is our character rather than our degrees and the letters behind our names that define who we are as human beings, we still feel very honored and proud to be first generation graduates, and now, masters graduates! Cherry-Anne attained a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the University of The West Indies, and Melanie, a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from The George Washington University. We were very happy to have had the opportunities to pursue degrees in areas that we are passionate about. After obtaining bachelor degrees, we both attained Teaching Certificates because of our passion for and desire to continue our careers in education. However, in order to gain additional knowledge and become even more compelling innovators in education, we decided to pursue our masters. Cherry-Anne pursued a Master of Science in Teacher Effectiveness and Professional Development and Melanie a Master of Education in Instructional Systems Technology, a passion that she developed while teaching. During these profound learning experiences, we each spent countless hours writing and refining research papers and excelling in our creations and designs!! We also enjoyed having discussions that blended our learning, and we continue to have these thrilling educational conversations on a regular basis! Soon after completing her masters program, Cherry-Anne pursued an Instructional Coaching Certificate as it was her career goal to become a Math Instructional Coach and maybe a Math Consultant someday. |
