Welcome to my classroom site. I am Dr. Mendence. I am from Summerville, Georgia. I graduated from Trion High School in 2013. Then I attended Berry College where I was a cheerleader and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education in 2017. I graduated with my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Columbus State University in 2019. I completed a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Leadership in December 2022. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, attending sporting events, and spending time with my husband (Coach Mendence) and our dogs. This will be my ninth year teaching at Model High, and I will be teaching algebra and geometry. I will also be coaching the competition and spirit cheerleading teams. I am looking forward to another great year at Model. Let's go Blue Devils!
