Welcome! I am so looking forward to being your child's teacher this 2023-2024 school year!

This will be my 12th year as a teacher and my 5th year at Pearl Junior High School. I have always taught Math and I love it! I graduated from Mississippi College with a Bachelor of Science in Education, with endorsements in Math and English.

My husband works at the Air Guard Base here in Pearl and we have two children, Marleigh and A.B.! When I am not teaching, I love spending time with family and friends, reading, playing with my two dogs, or doing CrossFit.

This is going to be a great year and I look forward to sharing my love of Math with your child! Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!

Tutoring Opportunities:

1. I offer Tutoring on Mondays from 3:30-4:00. Please let me know in advance if your child plans to attend and make arrangements for pickup following tutorial.

2. Each student has access to an app called "Paper" and it is attached to their Clever account. They have access to a tutor in real time for help with homework or questions about different topics. This would be a great resource for students when studying for a test or completing homework!
