As a seventeen-year veteran, I enjoy all the aspects of facilitating, leading, and growing along with the education process. I have had the opportunity to teach multiple Math courses where I have planned and executed diverse lessons. My experience coaching basketball has been a great way to practice communication and leadership. As a lifetime learner, I like to stay abreast of the newest standards and techniques, while collaborating with co-workers. Aside of my faith, I enjoy spending time with son Jaydon and husband Jason.

I taught English and coached football and baseball in Quitman County, Mississippi, at Madison Palmer High School after college. After one year, I returned to Bruce and taught a variety of social studies classes and coached football and tennis.

After three years in Bruce, my wife was hired by International Paper in Memphis, and we moved to DeSoto County. I taught English and coached tennis at Lake Cormorant High for two years.

I am excited to be a part of the Horn Lake family!
