My maiden name is Tiffany R. Payne and I was born and raised in Chicago, IL. I just celebrated my one year wedding anniversary with my wonderful, intelligent, and handsome husband, Vernon A. Griffin. We have recently relocated to San Antonio,TX, from Chicago. Vernon is employed by Accenture Procurement Services and is very successful in his field. I am blessed with 2 step children from Vernon's first marriage. Isis Arianna is 14 and Malik Tyree is 9. They reside in Champaign, IL. I majored in Political Science at UAPB and received a Masters Degree in Education from DePaul University in Chicago, IL. I taught Special Education in a small therapeutic school and also taught Special Education and the Social Sciences in the Chicago Public Schools. I am an avid reader, and I love retail therapy, traveling, music, and playing my guitar! As a hobby, I have always enjoyed makeup application and cosmetics and have decided to embark on a new career as a professional makeup artist!
