Women of Distinction Magazine Selects Luequita Oliver as a Distinguished Professional in Her Field

    QUEENS, NY, February 03, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Luequita Oliver, Founder and Executive Director of Literacy for Urban Empowerment, has been recognized as a Distinguished Professional in her field with an Excellence Award through Women of Distinction Magazine. Luequita Oliver will be featured in the upcoming edition of the Women of Distinction Magazine in 2016.

Becoming an elementary and middle school computer teacher in 2004, after becoming certified, Luequita Oliver quickly developed a passion for the field after seeing the impact she had on her students. Enjoying the opportunity to work with children so much, she eventually made the decision to form her own non-profit organization, Literacy for Urban Empowerment Corporation (LUE), in 2010.

LUE's goal is to support and encourage the educational development of youth and adults in urban communities by providing them with access to learning resources in an experiential learning environment where "Education, Empowerment & Evolution" is the focal point.

As Founder and Executive Director, Ms. Oliver implements the goals of LUE to be a successful entity in the community, giving direction and leadership toward program objectives and achievement of the organization's philosophy and mission, while also overseeing program delivery and designing an educational curriculum that fosters educational advancement in literacy, technology, and employability.

"I've learned that communication truly is the key," Ms. Oliver said. "You have to be able to communicate to others what you want; a closed mouth never gets fed. This not only works in business relationships, but in personal ones as well. I am very dedicated to what I do. When asked, I like to give advice on how one can attain their educational and career goals. I want people to know that I am an educational advocate who they can trust to give them useful and valuable advice. Most of the time people are afraid to reach out, but I want them to know that I am here to help."

Hoping to leave the world with her philosophy of 'Education, Empowerment, Evolution," Ms. Oliver believes that there is no better way to live then by helping others. Prior to forming her non-profit, she spent time as a GED Teacher, Library and Computer Teacher, Faculty Advisor, Literacy Coach, Instructional Technology Coordinator, Adjunct Professor, and Technology Education Coach. Earning her Bachelor of Professional Studies in Human Services at Metropolitan College of New York in 2004, Ms. Oliver then completed her Master's in Education at Cambridge College in 2006. In 2010 she became a Human Services Board Certified Practitioner through the Center for Credentialing and Education, followed by her New York State Grades 5-9 Middle School Generalist Teacher certification in December 2014.
