About Me

I got my start with Alcoa as a graduate assistant football coach while I was finishing my undergraduate degree at the University of Tennessee. I spent one year as a substitute and I am now in my second year at Alcoa Middle School as the HELP Paraprofessional and ISD. I am currently working on my Master's Degree in Special Education from Grand Canyon University. My duties include supporting the students in the HELP program in anyway possible. These duties include but are not limited to tutoring and mentoring the students daily.
 
Overall, this is my fourth year as a part of the Alcoa family and I have loved every minute. As a transplant, it means so much to be accepted into a community the way Alcoa has accepted me. I just hope that I can return that favor by guiding and teaching the young minds of the future the way others have done for me!
