Welcome! I'm happy to be teaching your child this year! The 22-23 school year will be my 30th year teaching. I am originally from Huntington, West Virginia. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Marshall University in 1992. After that, I lived in Charlotte until 1994, and Concord, North Carolina until 2011. I'm currently pursuing a Master's degree in Literacy. 

I live in Madison with my husband, Brian. My older son, Nick, lives in North Carolina.  My other son, Jacob, is a junior at Troy University. I have four stepdaughters. Lexie lives in Gadsden, Hayley lives in Huntsville, and Jordan & Emily are seniors at the University of Alabama. I also have a four-year-old grandson, Kaden, and a new little granddaughter, Ella, who was born in July, 2022. My dogs' names are Lola and Weenie.

I love calling Columbia home!
