I received my Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education, with a minor in Social Science, from Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma in 1994. I received my Masters degree in elementary education from the University of Alabama in Birmingham in 2000. In 2011, I became one of three National Board Certified Teachers at Greenwood Elementary School.

I have had the privilege and honor of teaching at Greenwood Elementary School since 1996. I taught second grade for fourteen (14) years prior to my current position in Greenwood's Kindergarten University!

I am originally from Sylacauga, Al, where I attend and graduated from B.B. Comer Memorial School. I am married and have two grandchildren, Zac and Brittnee. We have lived in the Bessemer area since 1994.
