Many of my teachers taught me the importance of relationship building. They put relationships with their students above all else. From them, I learned that students need to know you care before they show you they care. Before becoming a teacher, I was an investigator for the Department of Children's Services. Once again, I learned that for the kids I was working with to trust me, they first had to know that I truly cared and would always keep my word.
I graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a Bachelor's in Art in English Literature then several years down the road obtained a Master's in Art in English Literature from Grand Canyon University. This summer I will begin my journey toward a PhD in Literature at Liberty University.
I love all things about English and Literature, but if I had to narrow it down, Creative Writing and British Lit would be neck and neck for that top spot. I love helping students find their own voice when they write, wether it be a serious piece with a touch of humor, or that emotional narrative that just pulls at the heartstrings. Then their is just something that resonates deep in my soul with British Lit., the epic tales of Beowulf, the romantic adventures of King Arthur's knights, the satire that Swift brings to the table, and the wordsmith that is just uniquely Shakespeare.

Outside of sharing my passion of learning, I enjoy exploring God's world with my two boys, hiking solo along ridgelines and up steep mountains to watch the sunset. I love to see how much weight I can put on the bar to lift and cannot wait to be able to compete again. I also enjoy peaceful evenings at home with just my dogs and with either a good book or a crochet project in my hands.
