A little something about me.

I absolutely love the social sciences. As a kid, I was always intrigued about what happened before I was born? Why do we celebrate holidays? What types of food are enjoyed by differing cultures? How can politics, economics, education, and crime influence culture?

I was born, raised, and educated here in Savannah, Georgia. I graduated from Windsor Forest High School and attended Savannah State College (University). I graduated with a B.S. in Political Science. I decided to continue my studies at SSU and obtained a Master of Public Administration degree. In 2016, I successfully completed all requirements to graduate with a doctoral degree in education from Nova Southeastern University. I began my teaching career in special education working with students in a self contained environment to transitioning to inclusion to content curriculum. I will begin my 20th year in education in the 2020-2021 school year.

I enjoy quality time with my husband and son, family, and our friends. I love to travel, read books, watch Martial Arts movies, listen to good music (jazz, John Legend, Jill Scott, 80's music, etc.) and out of town shopping. I train weekly in kickboxing and have achieved 1st degree blackbelt. I love sports! I am a Dallas Cowboys and Los Angles Dodgers fanatic. I am also active within my parish community.

Regardless of what happens in August 2020 and beyond, I am excited to work with the 8th grade class of 2021! Stay safe!
