I am proud to be investing in the students of Auburn school, in my home community.  I was raised in Auburn and attended Auburn School.  After graduating from Logan County High School, I continued on to Western Kentucky University.  My undergraduate degree is in Agriculture Education.  I have a masters degree in school counseling and a middle school science endorsement.  My first four years of teaching, I taught high school agriculture in Carroll County.  I taught one year of high school science and coordinated career and technical education at Franklin Simpson High School, upon returning to Southcentral Kentucky.  I was then recruited to teach middle school science and begin a middle school agriculture program, along with FFA, at Franklin Simpson Middle School, where I taught for 5 years.  In 2013, I returned home to Auburn to teach science and begin a agriculture program.  As you can probably tell, I have a very non-traditional background, as a science teacher.  My unique background gives me a distinct advantage in the classroom to teach from a real-world perspective.
