What has it been like for you to have your efforts to make a difference be recognized?
I feel like my grandma would be proud. I love the fact that people are able to see how much I care for the students and their futures. It gives me the strength to push through.
Mississippi has so much talent and heart. What do you want people to know about Mississippi from your perspective?
Exactly that. Mississippi is one of the places that are constantly overlooked but the Delta specifically is a true gem of America.
You are a change-maker, and Conversations was honored to recognize you as one of our 2025 Mississippi Success Honorees. What has helped you to let your light shine in the work that you do?
My students. They are everything to me. We work as a team and we succeed as a team. Their passion keeps my spirits up with everything that we go through with our District.
As a change-maker what advice do you have for others when it comes to letting their light shine no matter where they are in the state or the world?
Find passion and hold on to it. Passion keeps us moving forward even when everything else is wanting you to quit.
What are you looking forward to in 2026?
New opportunities for my students and much needed professional growth. I want to grow an educator for my students to have the best experience
