About the Teacher

Education

I graduated from Southaven High School in 2009. I graduated with honors and was number 9 in my graduating class. After high school I went to Northwest Mississippi Community College where I played soccer. In May 2011 I graduated with an Associates Degree in Secondary Education. After NWCC, I went to the University of Memphis. GO TIGERS! I graduated cum laude in May 2014 with a Bachelors in Biology.

Experience

This is my nineth year teaching biology at Southaven High School. I have previously taught Zoology, Botany and Environmental Science.

Bio

I live in DeSoto County and am married to Taylor Benson and together we have our son, Paul, a furbaby named Belle. I love all things Disney and Harry Potter. I volunteer with an organization called Cause-Play Memphis, where I attend various events and dress up as different fictional characters, mainly Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I have always had a passion for science and have always wanted to be a teacher. Before I became a teacher I worked in the infectious disease lab at Lebonheur Children's Hospital. While employed there, I also worked in various other labs in the Methodist HealthCare system. I love to travel and wish I could do it more often. I love attending University of Memphis sporting events, enjoy watching soccer and tennis, and love going to concerts. I try to live life to the fullest as much as I can, even though most of the time I'm just hanging out at my house!
