Sharonda spent many years as a public school teacher in Memphis, TN. At one of her schools, she helped start a program called “Music in Motion,”  which combined academic principles and topics with musical rhythms and beats to help children with memorization and comprehension. 

She is a proud graduate of HBCU Lemoyne-Owen College. Sharonda also her Master in Business Administration.
