Hello, my name is Shirlonda Keels. I was born in raised in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. I am married to the love of my life Jeffrey Keels and I am the daughter of Apostle Sam and Pastor Shirley Nero. I have four beautiful sisters, four energetic nephews, four beautiful nieces, and one beautiful god daughter. I attended Champlin Park High School and later graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I attend Church of New Life Christian Ministries where I frequently volunteer. I love dancing, shopping, traveling and spending time lounging with my husband.

This is my second year working as the Behavioral Specialist at LoveWorks Academy. I love Teaching at LoveWorks Academy because I love being able to affect our students in a positive way. I love the family oriented atmosphere, and I love working with teachers and staff who really love the students.

My favorite quote is, “The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.” -Oprah Winfrey
