About The Teacher
I am a native of McKenzie who graduated from Gleason School. I attended University of Tennessee at Martin where I obtained by Bachelors of Arts majoring in English. I lived briefly in Florida, then returned to receive my Masters of Science in Education. During my Masters Program, I worked as a developmental reading instructor on campus. I then worked as a parent educator with the PEACH (Parent Education and Children's Health) program on campus. I began teaching at Milan in January of 2002. I have felt no desire to teach anywhere else because I have had a wonderful experience here and truly enjoy what I do. I have two children: Alex Raspa (age 16) who attends Milan High School (Go Bulldogs!!!) and Jack Hardwick (age 5) who attends Milan Elementary and is in Mrs. Leslie Evans class. My husband, Shannon Hardwick, and I own a farm in McKenzie where we raise cattle. It is a wonderful life living in the country. My family is essential to me, but I will always find time to help a student in need. Enjoy this school year as I am sure I will.
