I substitute teach in the Mobile County Public School System when I am not at South or studying. My daughter is in first grade at J.E. Turner, which was known by their former principal as Mobile’s biggest kept secret. It is an amazing school!
I obtained my Associates degree in Psychology at the University of Phoenix (online) when Layla was little and furthered to obtain my Bach. in Psych at South. I have always known that I wanted to work with children- they are my passion. I thought I wanted to become a counselor, but the more I thought about it and talked to Jerald (the hubby) about it, I just realized… this is not what I want. I want to teach! I had only two semesters in Psychology, but I swapped to Education. It has put me back another 2 ½ years from where I was (because so many credits weren’t needed for the Education degree) but that is ok because I know that when I do get in the field I will love my job and be happy to get up and go to work.
I love spending time with my family. I coached my daughter’s soccer team, volunteer one day a week at her school, am room mom for both daughter’s classes, and help coordinate fundraising events for random needy people. I am passionate about people and believing in those that are so frequently looked over due to people’s inability to understand why or how another person perceives.
