Welcome to Biology! I am really looking forward to working with you, and I am excited to help your child succeed in my class.

This is my 6th year at Lewisburg High School (13th year teaching) where I teach Biology and serve as the Girls Head Basketball Coach. Prior to this, I taught at Southaven Middle School for 7 years and was the girls' head basketball coach there. I graduated from the University of Mississippi with a B.A. in Biology and minor in Psychology. I also played basketball at Blue Mountain College before attending Ole Miss. I love our school and the entire Patriot family! I enjoy spending time with friends and family, tailgating in the Grove, watching a good show on Netflix or Hulu, going to the beach, playing with my pups Lilah and Swayze, and being overly competitive in any and every sport :) Science is all around us in everything we do, and I believe it is important for my students to develop an interest and enthusiasm in the sciences. I will engage their minds with inquiry-based learning and STEM, while reinforcing important literacy and mathematics skills. Over the course of the year, we will focus on 10 units of Biology such as Cells, DNA/RNA, Genetics, and Ecology to name a few. I will address multiple learning styles through various resources of the state-specific content. I will encourage your child throughout the year to be intrigued with the world in which we live.

Again, I am really looking forward to this year and the fun we will have. If you would like to contact me, the school's phone number is 662-870-6708. For more immediate attention, you can email me at the contact form above and I will gladly answer any questions you may have.

We are also using Remind 101 as a free, safe, and simple messaging tool that helps me share important updates and reminders with you throughout the year. Students and parents can subscribe by text, email, or by using the Remind app. All personal information is private and I will never see your phone number, nor will you see mine. It's simply a "reminder text." Follow the instructions on the handout to join your class period.
