I am a Christian mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. I am a teacher, a tutor, a trainer of science, and a camp director. I grew up in West Tennessee in a town next to beautiful Reelfoot Lake. My career in teaching began in 1986 after completing my bachelor's and master's degrees at Murray State University. My journey to the "big city" from my hometown of 1,000 was a little scary, but I have never shied away from a chance to grow and learn. After a teaching missionary trip to Belize, Central America, I moved to Hermitage where I began teaching at Andrew Jackson Elementary. My career has taken me to different schools and provided amazing teaching and learning opportunities including King's Lane Middle School, DuPont Elementary, Tennessee State University, Donelson Middle, DuPont Tyler Middle, and Ruby Major Elementary. I am also a trainer for Carolinia Biological Company taking me all across the U.S. to train teachers and administrators. After retiring in 2018, I returned to Ruby Major to teach computers to students in grades 2-4..
Outside of school I am am wife and mother to 3 beautiful daughters, Miranda, Lily and Yufei. I live in Hermitage. My husband , Scott is a minister and also works for Cigna. My daughter, Miranda has followed my footsteps in the teaching profession. She currently teaches first grade in Jackson, TN. My younger daughter, Lily, is a freshman at Austin Peay State University. She has been blessed with many talents, with singing being a prominent one. Yufei is my youngest daughter. She is an exchange student from China. She is a senior at Donelson Christian University. I have a dog, Leo (6 lb shipoo mix).
When I have time I love to cook, garden, and travel. I also love the world of technology. I can be found on my iPad playing word games or catching up on a little social media.
