Bio

I was born in Birmingham, Alabama, but grew up in Enterprise, Alabama (proud home of the Boll Weevil Monument!)  

I've lived in several different areas of the country since then...New York City, Los Angeles, and several cities in Washington State.  

I'm married with two boys.  Hal will be in 5th grade along with me (his mom) this year, and Kurt is headed into 3rd grade, also at Heritage. 

My husband works at Redstone.  

I pull for the Alabama Crimson Tide!  

I love teaching 5th graders and helping with this important transition from elementary to middle school.
