About
At KIPP Memphis Collegiate Middle, we believe that education gives us the tools and the responsibility to open doors for ourselves and others. We are a community in which all members work together, celebrate each others' successes, value diverse perspectives, and operate with respect for the people and places we encounter. We recognize that we will never stop learning, and we work diligently to become stronger readers, writers, thinkers, and problem solvers who can express our thoughts with confidence and conviction. We have audacious dreams, and we have the knowledge, skills, and strength of character to make those dreams come true.
We will operate with our core values of Community, Curiosity, Creativity, and Commitment.

Co-Principal
I am the Co-Principal at KIPP Memphis Collegiate Middle School in Memphis, Tennessee. I previously taught a variety of social studies courses including government, economics, and geography for three years in Clarksdale, Mississippi at Coahoma County High School. After my experience in Mississippi, I moved to New Orleans, Louisiana where I joined the KIPP team and family for the first time and taught 7th Grade social studies at KIPP Central City Academy for four years. While at KCCA, I served as grade level team leader and social studies department chair. I worked as a Corps Member Advisor at Teach For America’s summer institute in the Delta in 2010 and in Atlanta in 2011. I worked at TNTP’s Pre-Service Training as a Teacher Development Coach in 2013 and as a Seminar Instructor for TNTP’s teacher certification program in Louisiana for the 2012-13 school year. I received my B.B.A. in Economics and Management from the University of Iowa and my B.S. in Social Science Education from Illinois State University.
