Hello and welcome to my page!

I've taught at Ben Hill Midde School for three years. I am a native of Fitzgerald. I graduated from Fitzgerald High School in 2012. I received my Bachelor's degree in Communications and Public Relations from Valdosta State University. I am currently working on my Master's degree in Workforce Education from the University of Georgia. My background before teaching involved a mixture of marketing, human resources, public relations, and communications. My first job after receiving my Bachelor's degree was working as a Marketing Coordiantor for the Cancer Coalition of South Georgia in Albany, GA. After deciding that I wanted a job closer to home, I landed the position as a Marketing Coordiantor for the Howard Center for Women's Health in Tifton, GA. 

The greatest advantage of entering teaching as a second career is my passion to share lessons that I learned in the workforce. My Communications degree has allowed me to work in diverse industries where I’ve gained a well-rounded set of skills that makes for a valuable employee in this position. As the Career Development teacher at Ben Hill Middle School, I’m always eager to help student’s identity and channel their strengths and weaknesses so they may reach their full potential. It’s fulfilling to have the opportunity to contribute teachable lessons and insight to students about what employer’s desire in an employee. I embrace the opportunity to enrich young lives by focusing on shaping students’ behaviors and skill sets, in hopes that they will achieve their financial, educational and career goals.
