I began teaching in 1999 and came to Watwood in 2004.  Teaching has always been my passion.  Each year, my class becomes a family.  I believe when my students feel welcome and loved, together  we can accomplish anything.  I graduated from the University of Montevallo with a Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood/Elementary. I received my Masters of Education from the University of Central Michigan.  I am married and have a son and daughter.  I consider msyelf blessed to love and grow with every child I teach.  Teaching is truly a calling and I am thankful I have been called to do it.
