| Bio |
I have lived in Memphis since 2012! I moved to Memphis initially as part of an internship with Service Over Self (SOS). I quickly fell in love with the city and the characters who were working diligently behind the scenes within education, healthcare, and beyond to improve the lives of all Memphians. Little did I know that as I was acclimating to this new city, but there was a huge Memphis cheerleader — Choose901 — that was emerging. I got the opportunity to join City Leadership (the org behind the Choose901 and Teach901 campaigns) in 2014 to lead Serve901. Also in 2014 I met Callie Dixon (now Callie Riddle) who had moved here to do the Memphis Teacher Residency (MTR) and we fell in love. Married in 2016 and had our first son in late 2021.
Serve901 works to host college students who are choosing to take alternative spring breaks and help them learn about the Memphis that I fell in love with. So with the work of S901 we get to partner college student volunteers with people from all over the country and we’ve served over 75 different Memphis orgs.
This work came so a screeching halt with COVID-19 and that’s when I stepped into Teach901 world. I’m a gifted connecter and would love to work to help link you up with the right fit within the Memphis education world!
