Teacher Bio

Thank you for visiting my website. I am beginning my 8th year of teaching. 4 1/2 years have been at Phoenix. This is the best place to be in Cumberland County and I am excited to start a new school year.

I am originally from South Carolina but moved to Harriman, TN when I was 5 years old. I graduated from Oliver Springs High School and continued my education at Tennessee Technological University. I received a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology with an emphasis in Zoology. My dad provided me some great advise and told me I should become a teacher. I went back to TTU and became a teacher! I received my Masters of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction, Secondary Education and a Specialist of Education degree in Special Education. I love teaching! I am so blessed to wake up everyday and get to come to Phoenix and spend time with such a great group of students.

I am married to a local boy, Scott and we have an 11 year old daughter, Emily, who attends Frank P. Brown Elementary School. I love the beach and Geochaching.

Heres hoping for a great school year.
