About Me:

A dedicated member of the Alcoa City Schools family since 2006, I have tried to consistently demonstrate a deep commitment to the students and staff of the district. Beginning in the role of a part time school nutrition employee, I embraced the opportunity to serve the Alcoa community. In July 2016, I proudly accepted the position of School Nutrition Director, bringing leadership and a focus on providing the very best for Alcoa's students. Continuing to grow and contribute, July 1, 2023 marked the addition of Payroll Coordinator responsibilities to my multifaceted role.

Driven by a passion for continuous improvement, I have also completed an Associate of Applied Science in Business Management degree while diligently guiding and supporting the School Nutrition staff. I consider Alcoa City Schools a true blessing and am grateful to be part of a hard-working family dedicated to the success and well-being of every student.
