We started off as coworkers both teaching on the 8th grade team at a charter school in Newark. We both loved working with kids and enjoyed helping others for the common good. As coworkers, we were always very close friends. We often spent time together outside of working trying new restaurants and getting lost in conversation. It wouldn't be until a few years later, that we both decided that it was the right time to make things official. After a few years of dating, it was time to take the relationship to the next step! Jyron proposed and of course Vanessa said yes!
