I am a passionate educator, instructional designer, and certified horticultural therapist with a Ph.D. in Instructional Design. I serve as a high school agriculture teacher in Baldwin County, Alabama, where I inspire students through hands-on learning and innovative projects that connect agriculture, sustainability, and community engagement. My classes include a wide variety of topics, from horticulture and livestock production to agricultural mechanics.
I am deeply committed to promoting the therapeutic and educational benefits of horticulture, evidenced by her work with dye gardens, medicinal plants, and senior citizens. I also design grant-funded initiatives, such as creating nature trails, native plant gardens, and community-focused horticultural therapy programs.
In addition to my educational pursuits, I explore opportunities in horticultural therapy and grant writing as a business venture. I enjoy blending my skills in agriculture and design to create meaningful, lasting impacts for students, seniors, and my local community. Outside of my professional life, I am a proud mother and enjoy collaborating on projects with her friends who share my love for creativity and cooking.More...
