It is with great pride that I begin my second year with Prosper High School, and the students I serve have the last names Mo-Red.

I grew up in Marietta, GA, earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and both my Master of Education and Educational Specialist degrees at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

My move to Texas was prompted by my spouse, Dr. Lisha Storey, who is a professor of English and director of the Scarbrough Writing Center at Austin College. When not talking about future plans or feelings, I enjoy reading, cycling, exploring coffee shops and other regional spots on my motorcycle, spending time with my two dogs, and just being outside at my pool. Feel free to stop by my office - I’ll even turn down my heavy metal for you!

In my career, I have worked as a Grades 9-12 English teacher, a high school counselor, and a college career counselor. My work has taken me from North Carolina classrooms to the middle of Manhattan as a Career Development Specialist at New York University. Most recently, I have worked in career development down the road in Denton at the University of North Texas. 

Away from school, I attend a lot of live music and write about it for various publications. I also enjoy reading, baseball, basketball, Netflix, and of course spending time with my awesome friends and family.

My undergraduate degree is in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Teaching English as a Second Language from the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse. After I returned from teaching in Taiwan, I earned my Master’s of School Counseling from Angelo State University.

When I am not in my cozy work office, I enjoy adventure eating, baking cookies, and riding horses. This is going to be a fabulous year, and I look forward to serving you and your family!

I am so excited to be starting my 16th year at Prosper High School. Prior to serving as the Testing Coordinator and College and Career Counselor, I spent 9 years in the classroom teaching Health, Physical Education, and PALS. During this time, I was also the Head Volleyball Coach and assisted with Softball and Basketball.
