I earned my Bachelor of Science degree, Masters of Education degree, and Gifted Endorsement from North Georgia College & State University. Recently, I completed my Specialist Degree in Teacher Leadership at Georgia College & State University. I am looking forward to experiencing another adventurous school year.
