Hello parents! I am the Title I School Based Curriculum Specialist here at Hereford Elementary School. I was born and raised right here in Huntsville, Alabama and am a proud product of Huntsville City Schools. I am married, and I am the mother to 3 beautiful children. In my spare time, I love to travel, craft, read, and hang out with my family.

As a Curriculum Specialist, I believe that given the right environment, support, and encouragement, all students have the ability to learn and thrive. This school year, I hope to help teachers enhance their instructional practices by integrating purposeful and helpful reading and math strategies and resources.
