In 2017, I moved to the Hackett Campus to teach 5th and 6th grade Science. This year, I will be teaching 5^th grade Science. I am looking forward to another fantastic year!

I have been working with children for well over a decade now. While in college, I worked full-time at a daycare in Fort Smith. I worked as the 2-3 year old’s room teacher. I worked there from 2009-2013. I worked as a para-professional at Westwood Elementary in Greenwood for the 2013-2014 school year.

I love to catfish. My dad taught me when I was a little girl, and I have enjoyed catfishing ever since. I also love to read books. I am currently rereading the classic “Dracula” for the first time. My family loves to travel. We traveled all around the state of Arkansas this summer.. We went camping and visited the Diamond mine (no luck though), we visited Mid-America Science Museum, went shopping in Hot Springs and Little Rock, and visited the Clinton Library and the state capital building. It was an amazing trip to beautiful places.  My favorite vacation spots are Disney World and Gulf Shores.
