My Education and Experience

I attended MGCCC (MS Gulf Coast Community College) and the University of Southern MS before I moved to Mobile, AL. This is where I finished my B.S. degree in Elementary Education. I graduated from the University of South Alabama with Cum Laude honors in 2001 and began teaching in the Mobile County Public School System at Maryvale Elementary School that Fall. While there, I taught third grade, had many great experiences, and went to many great workshops. I taught for almost two years before I had my first child and decided to stay home with him until he began school. Last year, my son began PK4 at St. Paul's Episcopal school and I became the Extended Care Director there for grades 3-6. We had a great year, but I decided to leave my position at the end of the year because of the situation with my son starting Kindergarten and my two year old daughter at home. I now teach a two year old class at the Christ United Methodist Church Mom's Day Out program. I think that these two years and the classes that I am taking are getting me very prepared to get back in an Elementary Classroom.
