I am a native of Yuma, Arizona, received my Bachelor's degree in Music Education from Alcorn State University in Lorman, Mississippi, my Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University, and an Ed.S. in Instructional Leadership from the University of West Alabama.  My teaching career has included general music, band, and choral music education in Arizona and Alabama. In the Fall of 2018, I assumed the duties as Choral Director in the Music Department at Liberty Middle School. My choirs have received consistent superior ratings at Alabama Vocal Associations State Choral Performance Assessment and Festival Disney in Orlando, FL where we also won 1st Place in our division with a Superior rating, Best in Class, and the Festival Disney Gold Award. I am excited about joining Journey this year!  My family consists of my husband- Craig, daughters- Zoey and Willow Rain, son- Austin, and dog- Sebastian.
