I have spent my entire teaching career at what I consider to be the
very best school in Wilson County, West Elementary. I have taught second
grade through fifth grade, with the majority of my teaching years spent with
fourth grade.
I was born in Detroit, Michigan. My family and I moved to Tennessee
when I was in the fifth grade. The school I attended was Tuckers Cross
Roads Elementary. Tuckers was a very small elementary school with only four
teachers. It was quite an adjustment for me to ride a school bus. I believe
our bus broke down either to school or on the way home at least once a
week.
I graduated from Lebanon High School. I then attended Middle Tennessee
State University where I received my Bachelors and Master Degrees. I later
received my plus 30 hours with some work done at Cumberland University and
Middle Tennessee State University. I added additional certification to my
degrees with 30 more hours of graduate work. I haven't stopped going to
school. I've always loved learning and going to school.
I enjoy traveling to Knoxville for all the home UT football games and
many of their away games as well. I also love the TITANS, I'm also at all the
Titan's home games. My weekends are very busy in the fall with loads of
football. I'm really happy on Monday when both my teams win,(not so much
when we lose)but I'm always excited, and eagerly waiting the next game.
We are always striving to make the best better!
