Welcome to 4th grade ELA and Social Studies at North Bay Elementary School. I am beyond excited to be your ELA and Social Studies teacher this year! I am a Biloxi native, born and raised. After graduating from Biloxi High School, I earned my bachelor's degree in elementary education at the University of Tennessee. In May of 2022, I earned my master’s degree from William Carey University. This is my 8th year to teach for Biloxi School District. I am extremely grateful for the continued opportunity to serve the community that built me by working as a Biloxi teacher. I live in Biloxi with my husband who is a teacher as well and our two daughter. In our spare time, we enjoy spending family time boating, fishing, and hunting. We love the outdoors!! I am truly excited to work with each of you this year. I love working as a teacher simply because I love kids and am passionate about the power of education. I work hard to prepare my students for what lie ahead while building their confidence and ensuring that they feel safe, valued, and loved at school. It is going to be an exciting year!
