Teaching at CMS is my passion! Here's a little bit about my life outside of Clarke Middle. As a child, I grew up in both Lawrenceville and Auburn, Georgia. In 1993, I graduated from Winder-Barrow High School and later attended UGA. When I moved to Athens-Clarke County I loved it so much, I just couldn't leave. My husband, two daughters and I live in Winterville. In my spare time I enjoy hanging out by the water, running and biking, attending sporting events, watching TV with my husband, playing w/electronics, and reading!
