Hello, I’m Jerome but you can call me Jay to keep it simple. I’ve been working with children all my life as I see them as leaders of the future. I’ve been mentoring youth within the Southside of Chicago the past three years and recently obtained my substitute license to teach over the past nine months.Some fun facts about me: I do enjoy art spaces (museums, live music, and murals) and nature such as state parks and walks by lake shore drive. When I’m not working or studying, I prefer to spend time with my 18 month year old American Tri-Color pitbull dog name Prince.
