Education
I graduated from Mississippi State University, where I obtained a degree in Biology Secondary Education. I also have a Bachelors of Science in Nursing from UT Memphis and Masters in Educational Leadership from Arkansas State.

Experience
While in nursing school I was a Nurse Extern on the Orthro/Neuro floor.  I began my nursing career at LeBonheur Children's Hosptial in the ICU where I practiced for 8 years prior to teaching. I had the opportunity to take care of a variety of patients and saw many miracles. I was a charge nurse, preceptor, and participated in the leadership program.  LeBonheur will always have a piece of my heart.  My teaching career began at Bartlett High School. I have been teaching Biology and a variety of other Sciences at DCHS for the last 14 years. 

Classes I have taught include:  Biology, Botany, Chem Com, Environmental Science, Human A& P, Physical Science, Zoology, AND AP Biology!

I joined the CTC West Team in 2018. I taught Health Science 1 for 3 years.  I am Super excited to teach Health Science 2 at CTC West! I feel blessed to be able to help my students find their passion in health care and prepare them to compassionately serve others (btw~ I waited over 20 years position for this position).
