Navakene Williamson was born in St Ann, Jamaica. She grew up with her parents and eight siblings. Her days were spent playing outside, of course, and visiting the beach with her siblings. During her school years, she had a passion for learning and later attended university in Jamaica. She went on to live and work as a teacher in Jamaica for seventeen years, teaching a variety of grades. Ms.Williamson has always loved travelling, which led her to teaching and sharing her culture here at Lynn Road.

She wanted to become a teacher because she enjoys serving others.  Her teaching philosophy is "children do not care how much you know, until they know how much you care". Ms. Williamson shows that she cares by forming relationships with her students. She helps them discover their strengths and  dreams so that they too will believe in themselves the way she believes in them!
