SCHOOL PHONE: 662-675-8904

My philosophy is "Treat everyone like you want to be treated."

   I am proud to say that I am a graduate of Coffeeville High School.  I 
take pride in our school and community and encourage students to do the 
same.  I graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in 
education.  I have taught various classes since I have been at CHS, 
including 7th grade, 8th grade, ASP,Special Education, and now GED.  
   
     Since I have been teaching the last 13 years, I found that I enjoy the 
challenge of working with students who might not be the typical 'model 
students'. I pride myself on having a good repertoire with my students and 
earning their respect and trust when they feel they have been pushed aside.  
I do expect hard work and self-discipline from my students, but I also know 
that sometimes, not everyone can meet the same expectations, so I find ways 
to work with those students.  I try to be firm, but also empathetic. 

Personal Mission Statement

  My mission is make all of my students become independent thinkers who can 
apply problem-solving skills to everyday and unfamiliar situations, not only 
academically, but in common-sense areas as well.  
     As a GED teacher, I realize I have some students who might not become 
professionals, but can become productive, hard-working citizens, with a high 
quality of life.  Not only am I teaching academics, I have to incorporate 
everyday living, work, and social skills into my curriculum.  I want my 
students to be capable of drawing from their own knowledge and skills to  
work through and figure out unknown material, situations, and/or 
problems they will face in the future and have enough general knowledge to 
improvise when necessary to solve these problems.
