Julia O. Barnes lives by the philosophy “There’s always someone who needs the knowledge that you can give; don’t keep what you’ve learned to yourself.”
Julia has worked as a classroom teacher from as early as 2006 at both the secondary and early childhood levels. She exudes a spirit of excellence in her profession so much that she was able to stand as the four-year group leader and valedictorian for her class in her studies to become a trained and certified teacher. In addition, Julia has attained a first-class honors bachelor degree in Early Childhood education, capping awards in multiple core subjects.
More recently, Julia has emerged as a teacherpreneur as the founder of Barnes Teacher and Technology Services. This is an independent education development company that uses modern technology to transform the teaching and learning experience both in and outside of the classroom.
