Hello Panthers!! I am excited to be back for a second year at Huntsville Junior High!! I grew up in Madison, AL where I graduated from Bob Jones High School. After graduating from Bob Jones, I went to the University of South Alabama where I graduated in 2017. I returned to Madison, AL after graduating and began work eventually going back for an additional degree in Collaborative Special Education K-12 at the University of West Alabama. Currently, I am working on my master's in special education with a focus in Autism at the University of Alabama! I love to listen to music and going to concerts and enjoy reading in my spare time. When I am not out spending time with friends or family, I can most likely be found hanging out with my Chocolate Lab, Mac.
