I absolutely love teaching and watching little minds learn and grow!  I believe teaching is the most rewarding job in the world!  

I began teaching in 2004.  I taught for ten years in Mississippi before taking three years off to be at home with my family.  During my time staying home, we relocated to Hartselle, Alabama, because of my husband's job.  After being at home for three years, I knew that I wanted to get back into the classroom.  I was so excited to be able to have the opportunity to interview at Barkley Bridge Elementary, and I was even more excited to find out I was going to be able to teach where my children were attending at the time.  I began teaching at Barkley Bridge in 2017, and I feel blessed to work in such a wonderful school district! 

I am married to my wonderful husband, David.  We have one daughter, Julie, and one son, Conner.  Spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do!

My favorite quote is one by Winston Churchill.  He said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."  I hope that I can inspire children, make learning fun, and always remember that what I am able to give is the most important part of my job and my life.
