I graduated from Mercer University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Educatin.  I received my Masters of Curriculum and Instruction from Central Michigan University and received my Specialists in Curriculum and Instruction from Piedmont College.

I came to Villa Rica Elementary in 1999 as a paraprofessional in third grade.  The next year I moved to the computer lab as a paraprofessional.  In 2001, I moved into the front office and worked as a secretary until I finished my degree in 2005.  I have been in the classroom for 13 years.  During this time, I taught second grade for 7 years and I have taught Kindergarten for 5 years.  This year, I have been blessed to move to First Grade with my students.  I am excited about having them for 2 years.

I have been married to my husband, Dennis for 34 years.  I have two daughters, who are both teachers in the Carroll County School System.  I also have four grandchildren.
