Summary
Hello, my name is Lili-Ann! I am currently a lead teacher at The Corky Violet in Meridianville. Before working at The Corky, I was a waitress at Chili’s for 2 years. While I love teaching children, I do miss the fast paced environment that comes with working in the hospitality industry. While at Chili’s I was thrown into just about every position. I pride myself in being adaptable, a quick learner, as well as a great people person!
