My career in Madison City Schools system began as  a substiture for a year before Rainbow Elementary hired me as their Extended Day director.  After the winter break I solely worked with special needs in an inclusion setting. Then I was hired here at Horizon Elementary as a third grade teacher. 

I was born in Cocoa Beach, Florida and moved to Madison, Alabama all the way back in 1997.  As the kids would say, "wow, that was a LONG time ago."  I have absolutely never regretted the move.  Madison has been a wonderful place to grow up and learn.  I consider myself lucky that my parents picked up and moved here.  

I live at home with my parents and two wonderful rescue babies.  Heinz and Woodley, on the other hand, are the most peculiar dogs you'll ever know.  I wouldn't have them any other way.  

"Who do you go for?" is always answered by Ohio State Buckeyes much to the children's dismay.  They can't understand why I'm not head over heels for the SEC!  I also root hard for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
