I received my Bachelor of Science in mathematics from The University of Southern Mississippi in 2005.  I completed my master's degree in Educational Leadership in 2014 from The University of Alabama Birmingham. I have taught math for more than a decade. I have found my passion of teaching to be for junior high students. 

I am married with two children. Lyla Rae attends Hartselle High, and Levi is a student at Hartselle Intermediate School. Our family is not your average family. Levi is adopted from China; we traveled in the summer of 2015 to China to bring him home.
