I earned my Bachelor's degree from East Tennessee State University. Later, I earned my Master’s degree in educational leadership from Lipscomb University. I have taught in the Dickson County school system for 21 years.  I have mainly taught middle school science and social studies in those 21 years.  I am married with four children and one granddaughter.  I love teaching.  Having former students come up to me and thank me for believing in them is very rewarding.  I believe that all students can learn no matter what their circumstances are.  I am very excited about this new chapter in my teaching career.
