I have spent more than 25 years teaching, mentoring, and supporting students, families, and schools. My work has included classroom teaching, tutoring, academic leadership, professional development, and educational consulting.
Although I began my career in higher education, I felt called to move into K-12 so I could work more closely with young people and the communities that support them. Since then, I have taught a wide range of subjects including biology, microbiology, genetics, marine and aquatic science, chemistry, robotics, engineering, algebra, and business.
I have also served as Director of Teaching and Learning for the Mid-South Association of Independent Schools, and I have been honored as a STAR Teacher, Teacher of the Year, and a recipient of the Greater Jackson Chamber's Metro Teacher Recognition Program. My academic background includes degrees from Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi, along with training through the MAIS Leadership Institute and ACT's Instructional Master program.
Today, I continue to work with schools and students through consulting, tutoring, writing, podcasting, and coaching. No matter the setting, I believe the best work starts with relationships, clear encouragement, and practical guidance that helps people move forward with confidence.
In the ever-evolving landscape of education, I offer expert consulting services to schools and their administrators. My role is to provide strategic guidance, tailored to enhance institutional effectiveness and educational outcomes. With a focus on innovation, sustainable growth, and quality education, I work collaboratively with school leaders to navigate challenges and seize opportunities.
