This is my 12th year of teaching but my second-year teaching science at THE historic Booker T. Washington High School. I earned my bachelor's degree in biology from Spelman College, and I have a master's degree in educational leadership from Mercer University. I am currently working on my Ed.S. in Secondary Education at Mercer University as well.

I am a native of Las Vegas, Nevada and the oldest of three children. I am the proud mother of two amazing daughters. Makenzie (18) is at freshman at FAMU and a member of The Incomparable Marching 100. Payton (16) who is an early high school graduate in the class of 2026. Our family motto is: "Failure is not an option." I am an avid novel reader and a traveler at heart. My literature genre of choice is historical fiction. I love to craft and create when I can find some spare time.
