I am a graduate of East Carolina University  and earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Special Education.  I started my teaching career in 1990 in North Carolina, followed by a year in the New Orleans public schools.   After supporting my husband’s military career and lots of moves to duty stations, my family and I retired in the Madison area where I returned to work at Discovery Middle School as a math tutor followed by a resource teacher at Columbia Elementary. I am currently working as a Collaborative teacher at James Clemens High School where I am enjoying working with a great staff, parents and terrific students!  My husband, Bill, and I have three children, Taylor, Meredith, and Jack.  In additon, we are the proud parents of a Simon, our basset hound and Mort, our Calico cat.  I am the sponsor of Best Buddies, along with Michelle Hyams and Natalie Lane.
