I am Huntsville native, but I have been living in the Birmingham area since 2012. It is great to be back in the area with all that Huntsville has to offer these days! I enjoy swimming and working out at the YMCA, and hiking at Monte Sano Mountain and other hiking venues in the area. I also enjoy grilling out and boiling seafood when it is in season.

As an educator, I believe that each of my students is capable of great things, and I look forward to experiencing the arts offerings at AAA! In addition to my job as a World History teacher, I also teach lifeguarding classes at a local YMCA.

Experience

I began working for the Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Birmingham, Alabama, Inc. in 2011 and remained in their employ until 2020 when I transitioned to public education. While working in Catholic Education, I taught Social Studies and Religious Studies for Grades 6, 7, 8. I also worked as a school administrator for two years! After my time in Catholic schools, I  began working for Hoover City Schools as a Grade 9 World History Teacher in 2020. I also worked in the Chilton County School 
System (Clanton Middle School), where I taught Grade 7 Civics and Geography, in addition to a weight- lifting class for student- athletes.
