I graduated from high school "over yonder" in Southaven, MS in 2004. Directly after high school, I spent several years working in the church world-- from Alabama to California and back again. During that time, I earned my degree from Athens State University in English with a minor in Secondary Ed.  

I had the immense honor of teaching the Language and Literature course for IB MYP 9th and 10th graders at THE Central High School in Tuscaloosa for the first years of my teaching career. Though I will always miss my Central kids, I am so excited to be a Hartselle Tiger! This journey at HJHS has been rich with opportunities to learn and grow in my craft.

I have the most adorable "four"nado of a son named Xander. I don't know who said the two's were terrible because they didn't hold a candle to three's! He is my most favorite person in the world, and I talk about his escapades often with my students.

I am excited about what the future holds, and I look forward to meeting my future students!
