From Our Executive Director
” One of the core values we teach our students at the Academy is – Share Your Talents. God gave me a talent for working with children. Having the opportunity to use that talent to pour into the lives of our children as they grow to achieve their dreams is an amazing opportunity.”

A Word
From Parent Involvement Specialist
I am from Gaston County and I grew up in Belmont. I’ve worked with students for years in an after-school capacity and I love working with the students here at the Dream Center. In my position as the Family Involvement Specialist that is what I most look forward to, getting to know the families of the Dream Center and hearing the stories each of them have to offer. Outside of loving working with our families and students- I love chocolate chip cookies and good laughter around a dinner table.
