About Heather
I feel education is in my DNA—my mother retired as the assistant superintendent of the second largest district in Mississippi, my big sister taught for 25 years (1st grade and then GATES), and my older brother taught junior high math, science, and chemistry. I received my undergrad degree in elementary education from Mississippi College, my Master's degree from Alcorn State University, and received several certifications, including screening and teaching students likely to be diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia. I taught grades Pre-K through 3rd grade in the Mississippi public school system before retiring after 25 years. I received many awards including Teacher of the Year from our local Chamber of Commerce. Upon retiring, I immediately began teaching at a private Christian school my son had been attending for years because he was unable to receive the help he needed in our public schools. I now feel that my time and skills will best serve young struggling readers, and my very supportive administration has allowed me to step out of the regular classroom and focus on helping these students on an individual basis.

I'm a compassionate, loving, Christian educator who believes all children can be successful learners, especially if learning targets are made clear. It becomes even easier when lessons are made fun and interesting—tailored to each child's individual interests. Also, as a parent to a child who was diagnosed dyslexic way too late, I strive to make sure no other child feels the self-doubt my baby endured.

Ms Heather is a huge part of my life since my third grade year. She always took her time with me. She saw a student that really needed her and she did just that I’m 31 and I always think back to her. She truly amazing and loves her students.
Heather was my supervisor for student teaching. She was such a wonderful mentor and friend to me, and I saw firsthand how big of a difference she made in those children’s lives! She truly cares about each and every one of her students and anyone would be so lucky to have her as a teacher!
