I grew up in Tullahoma, and attended Bel-Aire Elementary (where my mother was a 5th grade teacher), West Junior High and graduated from Tullahoma High School. I have a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from UTM, and a Master’s in curriculum from MTSU. My first 18+ years after college were spent as a military wife. This allowed me the opportunity to teach in many different states. This is my 18th year teaching in the Tullahoma city School system.  I am married with an incredible daughter and son-in-law, and 3 amazing grandchildren. I love spending time with my family. I also enjoy reading, swimming, watching football and rugby.

I grew up in Tullahoma the majority of my childhood. I attended Farrar Elementary  and West Middle School here in Tullahoma. I then moved to Lynchburg where I graduated from Moore County High School. I have a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from TN Tech, and a Master’s in curriculum from WGU. I have been a teacher for seven years and have  been teaching in Tullahoma for five of those years. I am married and have one son. I love spending time with my family and friends when I am not teaching.
