I graduated from Bulls Gap High school in 1973. I hold an Associates
Degree in Child Care Technology from Walters State Community College.
I worked as a para-professional teacher at Bulls Gap Elementary School
in special education for five years before completing my education

of Ed. and am "highly qualified" to teach reading K-8 and elementary grades
K-6 according to the recent NCLB federal legislation standards and the TN

Tennessee's Primary Teacher Rookie of the Year Award for Energy Education.
My first grade class of 2006-07 earned the 2006-07 TN Primary Rookie of the

I retired from full time teaching at the end of the 2009 school year to spend
more time with my grandchildren and my mother. This will be my second year
working part-time as RCS literacy leader.
My hobbies are babysitting my grandchildren, water gardening, gardening,
watching my son play softball, sewing, and personal computing.
My family has pets. At home we have a Persian cat, a dog, and
fish. My husband and son are avid hunters, and we are all involved in the

Federation.
My family and I attend Persia Baptist Church.
I enjoy working with teachers, students and parents with an emphasis on
reading.
