I received my Bachelor’s degree in Special Education PreK-12 at the University of Tennessee at Martin. I later received my Master of Education in Early Childhood Special Education from the University of Missouri-Columbia. I have been a teacher for inclusive preschool classrooms, as well as experience with inclusive kindergarten settings. My passion for true inclusion and access for all to general education runs deep! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, attending sporting events, and spending as much time outdoors possible.
