Education

I attended Russell County High School from 9-11th grade.

I graduated high school from Port St. Joe High School in Florida.

I am a graduate of Troy State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.

I am also a graduate of Troy University with a Master's Degree in Elementary Education.

I have recently completed 3 years toward my Doctorate Degree. I am completing my dissertation at this time from Walden University.

This summer I attended a workshop with fellow teachers and we learned a lot of great things to take back to the classroom. I am very excited and love learning new and exciting things.

I guess that is why I am still in school. 

 

 

 



Experience

This is my eleventh year teaching. I started my career at Ladonia Elementary School in Russell County. I taught there five years. Then I transferred to Smiths Station Primary School.

Listed below are the grades I have taught in order:

4th, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, and currently 1st. I really enjoy teaching and being around young children. They make life and work very interesting and fun. Everyday is a new day. They bring so many new and exciting ideas to the classroom and leave with even more ideas.

First grade is my favorite grade to teach because of the many memorable achievements I get to observe throughout the year. They are all truly like sponges and I am honored that I am the one of many who gets to pour into them daily. Thank you :)
