Mrs. Bernice Williams: Gifted and Talented Academy

I have been an educator in North Carolina since 2000. Seventeen of those years were in middle school gifted education. For the past five years, I have been blessed to be at PRES! Prior to 2000, I was an educator in Alaska, Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

I have three gifted adult children and am passionate about helping parents and students understand how the gifted mind is amazingly different. I love antiques and homemade things. My goal is to build lifelong learners who rise to challenges.
