As a graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi, I am proud to serve as Director of the USM Center for Child Development.  I believe in the mission of this center and its dedication to function as the leading laboratory school for early childhood teacher education in the state. 

I have earned a B.S. in Child Development and a M.S. in Family Relations here at the university and I know first hand the educational excellence USM has to offer.  Both my education and work backgrounds support my passion to improve the lives of children by educating and supporting the adults who care for them.  In doing so I firmly believe I am building a strong, healthy foundation for tomorrow.
