Hello, Kenwood Knights; it's an honor to be a part of a dynamic team of educators. I'm a native of Memphis, TN, where I graduated from the University of Memphis. After relocating to Nashville, I continued my education at Trevecca Nazarene University, where I earned a Master of Education. The journey to educate myself continues as I travel around the world in my spare time, learning to relate to those who speak, look, learn, and live differently from me. For this reason, I'm excited to work with English language learners. I want to impact their lives in a way that will leave a lasting impression.
