    This is my fifth year as an assistant principal at RHS.  In 2023-24, I will be working primarily with 10th grade students and the Math and Art departments.  Prior to moving to Ridgeland, I served as assistant principal at Oak Grove High School (Hattiesburg) for 5 years and South Jones High School (Ellisville) for 3 years.  I also taught math for 8 years in Hattiesburg, Forrest County, and Petal before becoming an administrator.

    I earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from Millsaps College in 1994, Master of Education from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2010, Specialist in Education from William Carey University in 2016, and Doctor of Education from William Carey University in 2018.
