I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from William Carey University. I earned my Education Specialist Degree from Carson-Newman University in Administrative Leadership. I also earned my Doctorate of Education in Administrative Leadership from Carson-Newman University, focusing my dissertation on virtual education.
I have three dogs, Jasper, Sophie, & Pepper, and a cat named Steve, who I love dearly and who keep me busy in my free time. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, as well as reading, watching movies, and playing board games. Another passion of mine is travel and I head the travel program here at ALCA.
This is my 15th year as a School Counselor and my 8th year with Alabama Connections Academy. I am so happy that you have chosen to be part of the ALCA family and I am excited to help you along your academic and career journey!
