I earned my Bachelors degree from Austin Peay State University and my Master of Education in Reading and Literacy from Walden University. I taught third grade at Liberty Elementary for seven years and taught one year of Title Reading as a Reading Specialist before beginning my middle school career at New Providence Middle School. I have been teaching at New Providence Middle School for 12 years. I enjoy reading, running, and spending quality time with my family. I have a daughter who is a 7th grade Reading and Language Arts teacher at New Providence Middle School and a son who is a freshman in college. They are my pride and joy!
