Welcome to my webpage. Many know me as a fun loving teacher from Whitesboro Elementary School (WES). However, now I am blessed to be a fun loving ESL teacher for the Etowah County School District. That means I get to work with a number of kiddos from kindergarten to 12th grade. What a gift for me to wake up and know I get to do what I love. As a student teacher, it was my dream to be an ESL teacher, and now I get to live that dream

With the help of many students, I obtained my master’s degree from UAB in December of 2017. Before receiving my master’s degree, I earned my bachelor’s degree from Athens State University. An important goal of mine when working with our children is to encourage them to take an active role in their own learning. I firmly believe that students must be engaged in their personal learning experiences for meaningful learning to take place. I look forward to teaching our future leaders, as well as continuing to learn from them.
