I have spent most of my life living in Missouri, and grew up in the Walnut Park area. I'm a graduate of Gateway Stem High School. While attending Gateway I won two high school state basketball titles. Ms. Ford has an undergraduate degree from the University of Louisville, and was a member of the Louisville women’s basketball team. I work with middle school students on resolving conflict, accepting responsibility for their actions, repairing harm, reduce and prevent harmful behaviors, and help build healthy relationships between peers and educators. also I work with student athletes on building individual/team skills, confidence, and sportsmanship. I loves spending time with my family and friends. During the Summer I love to travel and work my part-time job at Busch Stadium. When working with children I love to use the following two quotes; “I can accept failure everyone fails at something, but what I can’t accept is not trying” by Michael Jordan and “Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations” by Dr. Mae Jemison.
