I have worked in the Houston County School System for ten years at both title and non-title schools, the latest of which was Matt Arthur Elementary School. During my time in the district, I have served as a teacher in grades Pre-K, 1st, 3rd, and 4th, as well as serving as the Early Intervention Reading Specialist.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from Middle Georgia State University in Early Childhood Education upon my graduation from high school and later earned my Master's, Specialist, and Doctorate degrees from Georgia College and State University and Piedmont College, respectively, in Early Childhood Education and Curriculum and Instruction. 

Along with my education, I am also certified in Early Childhood Education (P-5), Curriculum and Instruction (P-12), Teacher Support and Coaching, Educational Leadership, Gifted and Talented Education, and as a Google Level 1 Educator.  In 2018 I was named the Teacher of the Year for Matt Arthur Elementary.

My husband and I have been married for ten years and we have three children.
