I graduated from Fitzgerald High School in 1987 and attended ABAC. At ABAC, I earned an Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education.  After ABAC, I attended Valdosta State University and earned a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I taught third and fourth grades at Sycamore Elementary before moving to Irwin County, where I taught Pre-Kindergarten. While at Irwin, I earned a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education from Valdosta State University.  After moving from Irwin Country, I began teaching at Fitzgerald High School.  I completed a Specialist degree in Special Education from Georgia Southwestern.  For the past 14 years, I have taught at Fitzgerald High School with the history and special education departments.
