This week Clint talks with Donesa Walker. Donesa was born and raised in Texas. Married a Louisiana boy and birthed two wonderful young men! Loves reading, gardening, and growing minds! Donesa had planned to be a medical doctor when growing up but her love of learning quickly led her into the field of teaching when a personal crisis showed her the importance of knowledge. Donesa taught for over 20 years in the public school systems of Texas and Louisiana at all grade levels from PreK through college. She is currently pursuing her PhD in Clinical & Educational Psychology and is the first Board Certified Cognitive Specialist in the State of Louisiana. Donesa is a pastor's daughter and vividly demonstrates her love for Christ in all that she does. Donesa loves skydiving and traveling but she is most impressed when someone conquers their own weaknesses in learning through brain training as this is what brings her joy! She says, "teaching someone to read and learn to learn is like giving them a gift that keeps on giving." Donesa spreads contagious joy to all those around her with her smile and gift of love for everyone. She opened the LearningRx centers of Shreveport-Bossier in 2008 and prides herself in being one of the best brain training centers in the world!
