and returned to college at Delta State to earn my Bacheor of Science in
Elementary Education K-8. In 2002, I also earned my Masters Degree in

certified as a Reading Specialist. This is my 11th year of teaching English

winning preformances of "A Raisin in the Sun", "Barefoot in the Park",
and "Faith County" in the North Mississippi Theatre Alliance High School

My goal for my students is to fall in love with learning! One of my favorite
quotes about education is: Education is not about filling a bucket, but
about lighting a fire of desire to learn. - Miriam Wright Edelman
I want to be a positive role model for my students of a life long learner.
English includes reading, writing, speaking and listening skills that we use
every day of our lives, not just in an English classroom. We need these
skills to become productive citizens, employees, employers, and
communicators. Our young people are the future; we must invest our all in
providing a quality education for every student!
