I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Collaborative Education K-6th from Athens State University. I earned my Master's degree in Collaborative Education K-6th from The University of West Alabama. I live in Bridgeport, AL, and love my small town. I have formed many relationships while working at Stevenson Elementary School and consider Stevenson home as well. 

I am married to Jeremy Derr. We have a son and daughter, Kenny and Lauren. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

I love to learn about special education and how I can meet the needs of all my students. I believe that every student has the potential to learn.
