I attended Muscle Shoals High School in north Alabama, where I graduated as salutatorian of my class. After finishing a degree in social work with a minor in music from Mississippi College, I taught private and group music lessons for several years, while living in California and Alabama.  Then, while homeschooling my two boys in elementary school, I decided to go back to college and get a degree in mathematics from Athens State University. I discovered that I enjoy teaching math even more than teaching music!  After a few years teaching in the Huntsville City Schools, where I taught Algebra 1, Geometry, and Eighth Grade math, I joined the staff at James Clemens High School, where I love teaching math and being a part of the Jet family. This will be my seventh year as a Jet! 

Outside of school, I enjoy running, traveling, reading, hiking, and camping. I love spending time with my husband, two sons, and step-daughter.
