Personal Info:

I am an Alabama native who was born and raised in Dothan, Alabama. I have called the Wiregrass home for much of my life, but I have lived in a few other cities as well. Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, Pa. are just a few of the places I have resided.  Some years back I decided to pick up some extra money as a substitute teacher. It was not long before I realized I had a natural ability to teach and I legitimately enjoyed the process of educating our youth. Soon after I decided I would return to university in order to receive my teacher certification. My decision to teach has been one of the most important decisions in my life and I take very seriously the trust that the parents and administration have placed in me. It is my hope that every student who enters my classroom leaves with a new level of appreciation for the beauty of the written word. 

Hobbies:

Creative Writing, Reading, Poetry, Meditation, Guitar, Video Games, Technology
