Dr. Beverly A. Wixon (Dr. Wixy) has over 20 years of public school classroom teaching experience as well as over 10 years of mentoring and coaching new teachers. She has mentored several beginning teachers and interns, plus she has coached many veteran teachers through difficult and challenging times.

Dr. Wixy earned her Bachelor's degree in English at the University of South Florida, her Master's degree in Educational Leadership at the University of Southern Mississippi, and her Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership at Walden University.
