I was born and raised in Coffee County and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I married my awesome husband, Drew, in November of 2018. We have a three year old daughter, Georgia, and our son, Everett, will be two in September. Our family resides in Hillsboro with our dog Hazel and many chickens.

After graduating from Coffee County Central High School, I attended Tennessee Technological University and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Science and a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture with a concentration in Animal Science.  I earned my Master's degree in Agriculture and Natural Resources Systems Management with a concentration in Natural Resources Systems Management from The University of Tennessee at Martin. I also received my teaching certificate from The University of Tennessee at Martin.

I began my teaching adventure in January 2017. Before that, I was an Agriculture Extension Agent for Coffee County for five years. I loved my job with Extension, but it made me realize that I wanted to make a larger impact on the youth of Coffee County and share my love for agriculture and the outdoors. I taught Agriculture for five and a half years, Biology for one year, and I am very excited to teach Environmental Science this year! I am passionate about agriculture and the environment. I love any activity that involves being outdoors. My favorite thing to do is travel and my goal is to visit all of the national parks. My family and I enjoy camping, rock crawling, going to concerts and restoring vehicles, especially jeeps. We are also active members in our church.
