I graduated from Coffee High School in 1999, and then from Valdosta State University in 2011 with a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I taught for two years at Ben Hill Pre-K, two years at Ben Hill Primary, and now I am teaching third grade ELA at Ben Hill Elementary! Currently, I'm also finishing my final classes through Walden University to complete my Master's Degree in Reading and Literacy.

I live in Ambrose, Coffee County, Georgia, and I am married to my best friend, Josh.  We do not have children, but we do have an English Cream Golden Retriever named Vella.

I enjoy writing (especially songwriting), reading, singing, playing instruments, listening to music, going to church, hanging out with friends and family, playing games, and much more!  I published a book of poetry in 2005, and I am currently working on two additional works of fiction.
