Hi! I am thirty-six years old. I am a Tennessee Native and have lived in Tullahoma, Tennessee and the surrounding area all of my life. I love to read and I love animals. I have a dalmatian named Patch...for the black "patch" on his eye. he is eleven years old. Patch passed on to The Rainbow Bridge on May 9, 2008. R.I.P. Patch.
I really like to work on the computer in my free time. I assist others with web page design, powerpoint presentations and newsletter type materials. I collect dalmatians, keychains, magnets, and lighthouses. I am also an Independent Beauty Consultant for Mary Kay Cosmetics.
I grew up in Tullahoma, Tennessee. My mother lives in Tullahoma, Tennessee and my father lives in Manchester, Tennessee. I have two brothers. My older brother lives in Chicago, Illinois. He is an IT consultant. My younger brother lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, Sylvia. They are both attorneys.
I love children...this is why I teach. My joy as an educator is to see children's eyes light up with excitement and enthusiasm when they learn something new, master a skill, or begin to read.
I have taught Kindergarten at Hickerson Elementary for seven years. I am now starting my first year teaching 5th Grade. I was voted Teacher of the Year at Hickerson Elementary in 2007. I attended Middle Tennessee State University where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (Education). I am currently working on my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction at Middle Tennessee State University...one class at a time.
I encourage communication between parents and teachers. Feel free to come to me with any question, comments, concerns, or suggestions. Write me a note or call the school and leave a message for me to return your call. I will be available before 7:40 a.m. and after 3:20 p.m. by scheduled appointments only.
