Hello!!

        I was born and raised here in Christian County.  I attended Sinking Fork Elementary, Christian County Middle School, and Christian County High.  I played softball for the Christian County Lady Colonels for five years where I received numerous awards.  I was the first CCHS softball player to be voted an All-American. I was the youngest recipient to be inducted into the Heritage Bank Hall of Fame. I also honored to have my jersey retired in January 2016.    

        I graduated from Murray State University in May of 2008 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.  I received my Masters  from Murray State University in 2012, majoring in Reading and Writing. I will have my rank 1 in School Leadership in 2018.
