I joined the AIMHiTN team in August 2024 as the Disability Inclusion 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 diverse student populations and believe that every child deserves the opportunity to connect with their peers and feel a sense of belonging. My role is to promote individual experiences, create safe spaces, and raise awareness about the importance of inclusion.

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.
