About The Teacher

I am a graduate of Tennessee Technological University and this is my 11th 
year as a 6th grade Language Arts teacher.  I love teaching although there 
are some days when I wonder what was I thinking when I decided to become a 
teacher!!!! :0)  

I enjoy getting to know my students and enjoy working with the fantastic 
staff at Central Middle. I became a teacher with the thought that I 
could make a difference in the lives of my students. Sometimes I feel like I 
am accomplishing this - sometimes I don't.

I love to listen to music and I enjoy hanging out with my friends. For fun I 
like to run and have competed in a couple of 5K races.  I also enjoy lifting 
weights and mountain biking.  And, last but not least -- I love to read and I 
try to encourage all my kids to find something they enjoy reading.  It's 
important for kids to know that reading can take them anywhere they want to 
go.

My philosophy on life: (borrowed from Allie Freels) Life comes at you hard 
and fast - be ready for it...
