In addition, I have a beautiful 30 year old daughter named Carly. She is a talented hair dresser. I have 5 other important family members, my dogs. Their names are Henry, Max, June, Hope, and Pelly. Dogs make my life complete and are my greatest joy.

Education and hobbiesI have been teaching for 25 years. I earned my bachelor's degree in Art Education and Special Education from ETSU. I am certified to teach in these areas in grades k-12 and am highly qualified.
I taught art at Woodland for 10 years before taking a 2 year break to focus on work with student's who have special needs. I am more than excited to come back to my passion, which is making and teaching art! I see now more than ever the importance of the arts in a child's educational experience. I am planning to make this a very special year in the art room. When I am not teaching, you will find me volunteering for the local Humane Society. I love bringing together dogs in need with people in the community, including my friends! I also spend a lot time loving and caring for my own. I also enjoy working out and shopping! |
