About
From a very young age, the pursuit of leadership was in my blood and I knew I had a calling from God to be a teacher. I am very thankful that my Creator has provided me with an unwavering spirit in the face of adversity because I have certainly seen my fair share! It has taken me a bit longer to achieve my goals than most but an unwavering faith in God and His plan carries me onward! I will never cease to give Him the praise and the glory, for it is in His name that I serve.

Lee County Middle-High School Junior BETA Club Advisor
I include this as one of my honors because being the advisor for LCMHS's division is one of the greatest achievements of my career. Our school became a National School of Merit last year for the first time in school history!
Goals and interests
- Career goal
At this time, I am perfectly content teaching middle school science. As a matter of fact, I consider this my dream job! However, I want to be open to the opportunities that may present themselves later on so my goal is to obtain every degree in leadership, leading up to a superintendent certificate.
- Graduate school interests
I am currently enrolled in Asbury University's Dual Principalship/Instructional Supervisor Certification Program. Upon completion, I will also possess a Master of Education Specialist Degree, Director of Pupil Personnel certification, Rank II change, and the pre-requisites required to complete the four remaining courses for superintend certification.
