I am always thrilled to have another year at Daphne High School! I grew up in Birmingham, AL where I graduated from Vestavia Hills High School. I attended college at Mississippi State University where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Educational Psychology, with a minor in Psychology. Because I loved it so much, I went back to MSU to earn my Master's degree in School Counseling. My husband and I relocated here in 2015 after I got hired at Daphne High School, and we continue to fall in love with Baldwin County! We had our first child in August of 2020, Anna James, and we have a sweet lab/golden mix named Abby :)

Hello! This year marks my 8^th year as a school counselor in Baldwin County and first year at Daphne High School. I am so excited to be here! I spent 2 years at Foley High School and the last 5 years at Foley Middle School as the 8^th grade counselor. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in School Counseling, both from Auburn University. I also have an Educational Specialist degree in School Counseling from Jacksonville State University. I am married to my husband Jordan, who is a teacher and the head baseball coach at Foley High School, and we have a precious daughter named Kash. We live on a horse farm in Fairhope and that is where you will find me in my free time.
