I love teaching 8th Grade Science at Hartselle Junior High!  We carry out many hands-on activities and labs to help us understand our world.  Throughout my career, I have taught high school science and engineering.  I have also served as part of the administrative team of a few schools, as an advisor, testing coordinator and dean.  My passion lies in hands-on science, technology and engineering courses that provide students an opportunity to find relevance in the curriculum and discover new things about themselves.  

When I'm not at school, my husband and I love to be out in nature or at home with our pets.  We enjoy hiking, especially to a waterfall or in a cave.  At home, we love projects, from building porch bed swings to gardening.  We also love to travel!  If you do to, definitely ask me about the next EF tour I'm leading!  June 2024 we went to Italy.  June 2025 we're going to both France and Spain, and June 2026 we're going to Japan!
