Ms. Williams is a certified teacher and administrator in the state of California who has long been employed at the Marvin Avenue School in Los Angeles for the past 35 years. Hired in 1983 as a fourth-grade teacher of bilingual education, grade level chairman and integration coordinator, during her tenure she has notably served on the community advisory council and as an elementary intern for the district administrative internship program. She has also been teaching in Los Angeles, CA, since 1957.
During her tenure, Ms. Williams has been active as a member of the Los Comunicadores, the National Association of University Women, and the Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development, among others. She has also been locally involved with the United Way for many years, having served as the chairman of the organization's Project Esteem, and was a member of the administrative council and board of directors for St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Los Angeles.
Beginning her career during a time of inequality, Ms. Williams recalls the struggles of integrating African American students with Caucasian students on the school bus. Through it all, however, she has enjoyed many more positive experiences than negative ones. A true inspiration to so many students over the years, Ms. Williams was honored with an Outstanding Service Award from the Marvin Avenue Parent Teacher Organization in 1982.
Inspired to become an educator by a group of teachers at her church who taught in the Los Angeles Unified School District, Ms. William said that they motivated and guided her in the right path. Attending night school to obtain her degrees, she is forever grateful for their advice and wisdom. She has held an Associate of Arts from Los Angeles City College since 1954, Bachelor of Arts from California State University since 1957, and Master of Arts from Azusa Pacific University since 1979.
