 In 2010, she began to work with children placed in therapeutic foster care as a Foster Care Case Manager. Her wealth of knowledge in the mental health field led her to become a Recruiter/Licensing Specialist/Trainer. She has trained and licensed a plethora of foster parents throughout the state of North Carolina.

In 2016, because of her love for children, Chéz signed up to be a substitute teacher for Clover District School and later in Gaston County School. Her fond spirit and expertise with working with children with mental disorders made her a highly sought after substitute filling in often as a long term substitute. Chéz had a unique way to teach life lessons to students and she was always urging them to become their best self. During the pandemic the school system didn’t have a need for substitutes and Chéz made her debut as a candidate for School Board. Unfortunately, she didn't succeed; however, that didn't stop her from serving children as she currently works as an exceptional children teacher at Movement School.

​

Chéz is proud to have planted seeds within so many successful students in Gaston County and beyond.
