Affiliations
In my time with the district, I have worked closely with students across various grade levels and needs, including serving in special education settings. My leadership experiences extend beyond the classroom through my role as the cheerleading coach, high school PASS teacher, basketball hospitality coordinator, blood drive host, and scholarship organizer for Wilcox County Schools, where I’ve guided and mentored students while promoting school spirit, discipline, and teamwork. These experiences have sharpened my ability to build strong relationships, manage diverse teams, and lead with empathy and high expectations.
Accomplishments
In 2023 I was select by my school district to be special education teacher of the year.
