Education

I am a graduate of Deshler High School, Class of 2004. While at Deshler, I played volleyball, basketball, and track. I graduated with an Associate’s in Applied Science from Wallace State Community College, Hanceville, AL in 2008. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Education with a minor in coaching in 2012 from the University of North Alabama. I also received my Masters in Education Leadership: Administration Certification in 2018. 

Experience

I am grateful to have this opportunity to teach at Deshler Middle School.Deshler has been my one and only school that I have had the experience of teaching and coaching. It has been 8 years and I am excited about this journey. 

I am the head junior high Volleyball and the Head varsity Track Coach. I am the sponsor of the 4-H Club. I teach Girls Physical Education. 

I believe that Physical Education is the definitive service career. I believe every student should have an equal learning opportunity no matter the subject. I think my role as a teacher is to help students gain fundamental knowledge of physical education that will in turn help them live successful lives. As a physical education teacher, I will encourage my students to pursue a healthier lifestyle, participate in physical activities, and communicate with parents and other professionals to advance their learning opportunity.
