My name is Maleka Johnson. I'm from Brooklyn, N.Y. I relocated to North Carolina in 2001. I was employed as a Technical Support Advisor for Apple, Inc. and AT&T for 8 years before joining the Dillard Academy family. I have an Associate in Arts degree and early childhood credentials l & II. I am currently completing a B.S degree in Child Development, with a B-k licensure from Appalachian State University. My goal is to evolve into an educator who motivates students to view education as not only a necessity, but also as an enjoyable aspect of life. I am married to my wonderful husband, and we spend our free time with our 11 nieces and nephews.
