I’ve taught for over 22 years in elementary classrooms, including Vestavia Hills Schools, Athens City, and our outstanding Madison City School System.   I've served as an Enrichment Specialist, 4th and 6th Grade Teacher, and have taught all subject areas over those years.  I set high standards for myself as a professional to meet the needs of my students.  To insure a productive school year, I firmly believe in communication between students, parents, and teachers.   I love my job, and look forward to getting to know your child this school year!!!!    

Outside of teaching, I love to exercise and am involved in local tennis leagues.  I have a passion for reading, and cooking is a favorite hobby when time allows.  I was born in the Ft. Walton Beach/Destin area and love to travel that direction when given the opportunity.   My students and friends will often hear news about the latest scores for OSU Cowboys, OU Sooners, and OKC Thunder sports teams, which I follow closely.
