I received my Bachelor's Degree from Tennessee Technological Univeristy 
(TTU) in 1998. Previously, I taught in Smith County. I began teaching at 
Tuckers Crossroads in 2005 as part of the middle school team. I am certified 
to teach in grades K-8 and highly qualified in language arts. In 2004, I 
received my Master's in Curriculum & Instruction with a Library 
Science emphasis from TTU. This certifies me as a preK-12 grade 
librarian.

On Saturday December 19, I received my Educational Specialist (EdS) in 
Curriculum & Instruction as a Reading Specialist from Tennessee Technological 
University. If you would like to view a portion of my project, click on the

The photo above was taken before the ceremony. Pictured with me is my 
husband, Jeff, and our son, Turner. I couldn't have completed this degree 
without their love and support!
