About Makeda Smith

As an experienced educator and entrepreneur, I hold a Master of Education from Lesley University and have a proven track record in both teaching and business. Over the past several years, I have served as a Special Education Teacher at Capital City Public Charter School, where I managed IEPs, developed specialized instruction, and organized events, significantly improving student outcomes. In addition to my educational career, I am the founder of Sio Ceramics LLC, where I create handmade ceramics, manage marketing campaigns, and lead workshops. My business has been recognized as "Best of DC for Accessories" in 2022, and I maintain a strong presence in the local arts community. I am proficient in Google Workspace, Microsoft Office Suite, Canva, Shopify, and Capcut, with intermediate proficiency in Spanish. My skills in organization, communication, and problem-solving have been honed through my dual roles, making me adept at managing diverse tasks and fostering positive relationships. I am passionate about continuous learning, creative problem-solving, and building strong community connections. Let's connect to explore opportunities and collaborations.
