A little bit about me, I moved to Alabama from Massachusetts in 2009 to attend JSU. I am a 2x alumnus of Jax State, I graduated in 2012 with my Bachelor's in Early Childhood/Elementary Ed, and in 2019 with my Masters in Early Childhood Special Education. Prior to joining the staff here at CEPS, I taught Pre-K and first grade locally in Anniston & Jacksonville. I have been on staff at JSU since 2015. I have served as the Director of Learning Technology, Director of Instructional Services, and now as the Director of P12 Partnerships.

I love serving the students of CEPS. A favorite part of my job is the working relationships with local schools and systems as we both work to create learning environments and impact the next generations for success. I look forward to making our students' time here as memorable and meaningful as my job allows, and for the best.

I am a momma. I have 2 beautiful girls, Caroline & Molly and 1 son on the way, Levi. They keep us very busy. We enjoy being outdoors at the lake, at any ball field or gym, spending time as a family, and supporting our Jax State Gamecocks at every opportunity!

Go Gamecocks!
