About me...
I graduated from Emory & Henry College with a B.A. in Mass Communications/Journalism. After working in marketing and advertising for 17 years and owning and operating a printing and design marketing company, I sold my business and took a year off to spend more time with my son, Zac.
In 2012, I began substitute teaching at Chilhowie Middle School and quickly realized my passion for education. I decided to take additional coursework at the University of Virginia (Wise) to become certified to teach middle school English. After completing the coursework, Praxis, and other examinations and requirements, I obtained certification and licensure to teach middle school English. My goal as an educator is to help students see their strengths, foster a growth mindset, and be a positive influence in their lives.
This fall, my son will be a junior at Bluefield University in Bluefield, Virginia, where he will play basketball.
I enjoy spending time outdoors, spending time with friends and family, reading, and encouraging others.
"There is absolutely no research correlation between success and family background, race, national origin, financial status, or IQ.
There is but one correlation with success, and that is ATTITUDE."
