Greetings! I commenced my educational career with the Marion County School District in 2007. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and Management from Coker College, I took on the role of Business Education Teacher at Marion County Alternative School, subsequently serving at my former institution, now known as Creek Bridge Middle High School, for four years. Driven by a desire for further knowledge and impact, I pursued a Master’s degree in Instructional Accommodation from Francis Marion University, recognizing the diverse learning needs of students and aiming to equip them with effective strategies for academic success. I later obtained a second Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Coastal Carolina University.

Having spent three years as an Assistant Administrator, I am now entering my fifth year as principal and my second year as principal at Johnakin Middle School. As a product of Marion County Schools, along with my two daughters, Jalen Kiana and Reagan Noell, I am committed to serving the stakeholders of Marion County. I look forward to the upcoming 2025-2026 school year with great enthusiasm!
