Hello, this is my first year at MMES as a Lipscomb Teacher Resident assigned to first grade. I was born and raised in New Orleans, La., married to my high school sweetheart, and have boy-girl twins. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Sociology from Dillard University and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee Knoxville. I’ve had a long career in the social service industry, but excited to embark on my new career in elementary education.
