      Her mission is to use her skills to create opportunities for all to “Creatively Help Our Youth Conquer Education & Success.” Dr. Goolsby believes that every child has the ability to learn, stating: “As educators, we must get to know each child, find creative ways to engage them, and show them that we believe in them, whether their path leads to college or a trade.” Inspired by Gandhi’s words to “be the change you want to see,” and Albert Einstein’s reminder that “Creativity is contagious, pass it on,” she is dedicated to transforming education for the benefit of all students.
