An Opelika native, I am a life-long resident of Lee County and am proud to be raising my family where I grew up. I attended Troy University for both of my degrees, Bachelor's in Print Journalism and Master's in Secondary Education. My husband, Josh, and I have two beautiful kids together, McKinley (7), and Jackson (4). 

The 2023-2024 school year is my tenth year teaching and sixth year at Smiths Station High School. I teach 11th and 12th grade Dual Enrollment English and am the sponsor of FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes).
