I was born and raised in the Portville, NY area, but moved to Fitzgerald in 2004 when I was 10 years old. I graduated from from Fitzgerald High School in 2011 and attended college at ABAC and Columbus State University (CSU). I graduated from ABAC and CSU in 2014 with an Associate's degree and Bachelor's degree in Psychology, respectively. I worked in the Columbus, GA area until 2017, when I returned to Columbus State University to pursue a Master's degree in Teaching. I moved back to the Fitzgerald area in 2020 due to COVID-19, finished my Master's degree, and began working at Ben Hill Elementary School. This is my fourth year teaching 4th grade Reading and Writing at BHES.
