I graduated from Arkansas High in 2002. I went to Texarkana College from 2002-2005 then transferred to UCA Conway and graduated in 2007. I have also graduated from TAMU-T in 2014 and 2016.
I have a B.S. in Family Consumer Science, M.S. in Curriculum & Instruction, and M.Ed. in Educational Leadership. I have a 4-8 Generalist certification as well as 6-12 Family Consumer Science and Principal EC-12.
This is my 10th year to teach and my 5th at LEMS. I am teaching Tech Apps and Principles of A/V for 8th graders.
I began teaching in 2012 at Liberty-Eylau High School teaching Family Consumer Science. I went to Texas High School from 2014-2015 teaching Nutrition, Culinary Arts, and Food Science. From 2015-2017 I taught 6th grade Science at College Hill Middle School. I also taught 7th & 8th grade Science at LEMS from 2017-2019.
Before I became a teacher I worked for the Arkansas Dept of Health in the WIC department teaching nutrition classes to new and experienced moms.
I have been married to my husband Jason since 2015. I have 2 wonderful children, Jacob is in 8th grade and Caleb is in 6th grade both here at LEMS. Even though I haven’t always worked for LEISD, they have both attended schools in the district since Pre-K. We have 1 dog, Groot, who will be 5 years old in October.
My oldest son is in band and will be marching with the high school band this year. My youngest son is a baseball player. He was fortunate enough to play for Texarkana All-Stars this summer and was able to play in the World Series in Laurel, Mississippi.
I enjoy spending time with my family either at home or on the baseball field with my younger son. My oldest is involved in band and will be marching with the high school this year. I also have a side business making t-shirts and other things that keeps me busy as well as being Vice-President of Band Boosters.
