I have been a member of Selma City Schools for 18 years. I have my Master’s Degree(Alabama State University) in Early Childhood Education & Bachelor of Science degree(Auburn University) in Early Childhood Education. 

I currently serve as Reading Specialist at Cedar Park Elementary and have taught Kindergarten and First grade during my 20-year education career. I serve on the following teams at Cedar Park Elementary: Parents & Partners in Education, Reading Fair, School Fundraising, Library Advisory Committee, Honors Day, Calendar Committee, RTI/PST, CIP, Building Leadership and Building Test Coordinator. 

I was awarded a $450,000 21^st Century after school grant in 2014 at my former school, Meadowview Elementary. This money provided students with academic enrichment/mediation, exposure to the arts, STEM, awareness of a healthy lifestyle through better food choices, cooking classes, twirling, Zumba, basketball, etiquette, art instruction, ceramics, Boy’s club, coding with Google and parent involvement opportunities. Students also learned off campus through educational fieldtrips around the state. As director of the 21^st Century program, I performed administrative duties daily and in the summer. I reported to state appointed advisors and always received high evaluations. I look forward to assisting Selma City Schools in receiving more grants to provide educational opportunities to our students.
