I am a graduate of Western Kentucky University where I received a BA in History and a graduate of Mercer University where I received a Master of Arts degree in teaching. Since graduation, I taught history and english at a private christian academy on a 5th, 6th, and 11th, grade level. I am most interested and passionate about history, especially at the high school level where I can help students prepare for assessments but also think critically about the world around them. I am all for education, knowing that it can help students develop their understanding of the world and how they fit into it. In my spare time, I play violin and guitar, worship at my local church, and spend time with family.
