I am thrilled to be at FE Burleson and Hartselle City Schools! I have been in education for 16 years. Most recently, I served as Assistant Principal here at F.E. Burleson Elementary. 

I believe the foundation of education, from teachers to students, is relationships. I believe if we invest in relationships, we have the power to change the educational and professional future of our schools. I believe teachers are the change agents for student success and all students can be successful with effective instruction. I am an innovator at heart and a servant by nature. I am a life-long learner who is committed to making each day and every second count.

My husband, Jarrod, and I have four amazing children and love the Hartselle community.
