Assistant Principals

I am excited to continue to serve as one of the assistant principals at LMS and am grateful to be part of such a great school community. I have been a proud member of the Liberty family since 2009, serving in a variety of roles throughout my time here. I was born and raised in Scottsboro, Alabama. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Auburn University, my educational specialist degree from Middle Tennessee State University, and my doctorate from Samford University. I am also a National Board Certified teacher.  Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two children. Please never hesitate to reach out if I can help or if you have any questions. I am always happy to connect!
