I am a graduate of Henderson State University. (GO REDDIES!!) I earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Early Childhood Education. During my internship, I received the Spirit of Ryan Halaby Award. It is awarded each year to a teacher education major that has a documented history of overcoming a social, cultural, economic, physical, or other challenge to earn a degree in education.
My love for teaching surfaced at an early age. I was a peer helper and a tutor during middle school and high school. After graduation, I helped teach adults how to read as a part of the local library's READ program. I have been fortunate to also work as a parent volunteer in many pre-k programs and work as a paraprofessional for two years.
One of my short term goals is to attend the Little Rock English as a Second Language Academy. (ESL) I know that a high percentage of students speak a language other than English. I firmly believe that attending the ESL Academy will help to ensure that I can meet the needs of ALL students.
I was beyond thrilled to be a part of Forest Heights STEM Academy's inaugural year. The staff truly believes in the importance of educating today's youth and preparing them to be productive members of a growing STEM based economy. At Forest Heights we dare to INSPIRE, INNOVATE, and IGNITE!
