My name is Ms. T. Richardson and I am absolutely delighted to be your scholars educator this 2020-2021 academic year. I began my journey in the early education field in 2006 at the age of 19. At that time, I knew that this would become a strong passion of mine. I'm originally from New Orleans, Louisiana and I moved to Memphis after my hometown suffered many loses after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Fresh out of high school and unsure of what the future would hold. Although, the city of New Orleans will forever hold a place in my heart I am happy to call Memphis my second home. I joined team BOLPA in 2018 and I thoroughly enjoy my time here. I'm also a mother of two girls who keep me on my toes. Some of my favorite hobbies are cooking, eating, dancing, listening to music, spending long days on the beach and traveling. I can't wait to see what's in store for the Spectacular Scientists this year and what your scholar will be excited to learn about.
