Summary

My aspiration to help students at Austin Peay University stems from a profound belief in the importance of educating and supporting students in order to achieve success in the post-secondary world. Having served 17 years within the Cheatham County School District in a variety of roles, I am eager to continue serving students at APSU as they transition into adulthood.
