5th/6th Science
My family and I come from the “little” town of Vilonia, Arkansas near the center of the state. Close to Conway, just north of Little Rock. Education was a very big priority there and I graduated High School with Honors.
I went on to the University of Central Arkansas to persue and earn my Bachelors of Science in Teaching Secondary Science Education- but after substituting at the middle school this past year, I’ve been working to get the additional licensure for my Middle School Science as well!
I believe kids learn best when they are learning with their hands, they are comfortable, and they feel safe. I’ve structured my entire class around these principles to help them reach their best potential.

I am currently the 5th and 6th grade Science Teacher here in Mansfield, located at the Middle School! Last year, I was here at the district as a substitute teacher waiting for the right spot and the right timing. It was such a blessing to get to know the students in a more casual situation last year so I’ll know better how to serve these children while they are in my class this year!
This is my first full year to teach! I’m not straight out of college new, however! I’ve had what seems like a lifetime between graduation and now, and all those experiences have helped build me into a much more well rounded teacher. I’ve had experiences building and running businesses, raising a family, battling through extreme health situations, and so much more LIFE in those years in between! I am so grateful to be here for this position in this exact season!
Married 18 years to my high school sweetheart! We have 3 children, all here in Mansfield with us- one at each school!
