Professional:  I graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2003 with highest honors.  I am certified to teach elementary, secondary math, and secondary history.  I am currently working on my Master's degree for Secondary Education.

Personal Info:  I am a Mississippian born and bred and proud of it. I was born in Oxford and then moved to Jackson at the age of four.  My family moved to the Gulf Coast when I was eleven because my dad got a job with NAVO.  I greatly protested leaving my childhood home, but I have come to love the Mississippi Gulf Coast and cannot imagine living elsewhere.  I am 25 years old and have been this age for several years.  My husband, Thomas, and I have four kids.  Michael - 15, Kaitlin - 12, Connor - 7, and Dylan - 7.  Yes, the last two kiddos are fraternal twins.  

Goals:  To have happy, healthy, and responsible kids; to win the lottery; to remember to water the plants and feed our dog Rascal

Hobbies:  swimming, reading, watching detective shows, talking, napping, cross-stitching, driving, shopping, and watching movies

Personal Philosophies (famous quotes):  Do unto others as you would want done unto you; To thine own self be true; Knowledge is power
