I attended grade, middle, and high school in Princeton, Kentucky in the Caldwell County School District. During my tenure there, I received my high school diploma.  In 2003, I moved on to Murray State University where I received a Bachelor's of Arts Degree in Elementary Education in 2008.  In 2016, I received my Master's of Arts degree in Educational Teacher Leadership.   

My student teaching semester was spent in Lyon County Elementary School.  During that time, I was able to get my feet wet in reading content.  I taught 1st grade and 3rd grade reading during that semester.  After graduating college, I began substitute teaching.  I was blessed to be given opportunities to do 4 long term substitute positions between Caldwell County Primary and Lyon County Elementary Schools.  In 2010, I signed my first contract to have a classroom of my own!  I have been having fun teaching in Hopkinsville every since!  I am currently in my 7th year of teaching at Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary.  I enjoy working with such an amazing staff and students.
