Bio

I was born in Orange, TX where I lived until I moved to Marshall, TX as a teenager. After graduating from Marshall high school, I joined the United States Navy. There While serving during “Desert Storm”, I learned the value of teamwork and working side by side with people of diverse backgrounds.

After leaving the military, I decided to further my education at Wiley College. The lessons that I learned and the friendships that I made there are invaluable to me. My degree is in secondary education and I have spent the past fifteen years teaching history on both the middle and high school level. I have been honored to be “teacher of the year” in both 2012 and 2019.
