Welcome to my 4th grade classroom.  I have always wanted to be a teacher ever since I was in fourth grade.   I have been in the classroom for 29 years and counting.  I taught at Athens Elementary for 23 years teaching fourth grade.  My first 2 years of teaching, I taught fifth grade at Cowart Elementary (now known as Spark Academy).  Now I am excited about being at Athens Intermediate School. This is my fourth year at AIS. I love teaching.  I love all my students and can't wait to see all the places they will go. I love to have fun in my classroom.  I believe laughter is the best medicine. I believe all children can learn no matter what.

I am a 1992 graduate of Athens State where I received my Bachelor of Education.  I highly recommend Athens State to anyone going into education.

I have been married to my husband, John for 47 years.  We have 2 sons, Jason and Adam. I have one daughter-in-law that is married to Adam named Amy.  I have 3 grandsons, Hunter 19, Colin 16, and Josh 15.  I love going to watch my grandsons play sports.  I am a huge Alabama fan while the rest of my family are huge Auburn fans. I also love watching the Atlanta Braves and Miami Dolphins.  I love to read and play with my grandsons. I also love to cook and bake. Family means everything to me.
