About me |
I am a resident of Tipton County. I was born and raised in this town, and I have a passion for it's residents. I taught for 3 years before becoming the guidance counselor here at MMS in 2016. I taught 1 year in Lauderdale County at Ripley Middle School, and 2 here in Tipton County at Atoka Elementary. My joy and passion has always been building relationships with students.
I absolutely love my job here at Munford Middle. One on one relationships with students, and getting to help students grow, is the reason I became a teacher. Now being a counselor, that is my job! I absolutely love helping students learn and grow into the best version of them self that they can become. When I am not at MMS, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children. I enjoy a good latte and sweets are my favorite things. |
