I joined the AIMHiTN team in August 2024 as the Disability Support Coordinator. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Education, Magna Cum Laude, and a Master of Education in Special Education, both from East Tennessee State University. My professional journey has focused on early childhood education, encompassing Part B services, school-aged preschool, and Part C services through Tennessee Early Intervention Services (TEIS), as well as educating elementary school-aged children. These experiences have equipped me with the tools and knowledge to better serve children and support their providers.
I am passionate about working with children from all backgrounds and believe that every child deserves the opportunity to connect with peers and feel accepted and valued. My role is to promote meaningful experiences, create welcoming environments, and raise awareness about the importance of creating equitable opportunities for all children to thrive.
Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors and staying active. I am a devoted Christian, wife, mother, daughter, and sister. Spending time with my family and making memories brings excitement and joy to my life. I feel truly blessed to be surrounded by love, laughter, and a strong sense of acceptance.
