I'm thrilled about the new school year! This is my sixth year at Langston, but my 20th year in the classroom. I have previously taught both 6th and 8th grades in a variety of subjects, but I LOVE teaching Leadership. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Adolescent Literacy. I am currently working on my Doctorate at Converse University and will complete it this spring.  I know we're going to have a great year, and I'm excited to get to know all my new students.

My husband and I got married in 2017, and I have two step-children, Bryson and Braylan. We have two dogs: Sadie, a small Goldendoodle, who gets to come to school sometimes, and Marlo, another Goldendoodle, who is absolutely crazy.  I love my #auntlife, and have a great time hanging out with my niece and nephews. When we get the chance and it's not too hot, my family loves to go camping. I am a HUGE fan of the beach and reading, preferably when I can combine the two. I love to cook, bake, and be creative. I am also completely obsessed with Hamilton, Gilmore Girls, coffee, and all things dark chocolate
