I believe that all of our students can learn, grow, and become productive members of the community.  While each child may learn in a different way and at a different pace, they all have the potential to be successful.  I have known since I was in the first grade that I wanted to be a teacher, so each day here with my students is what I am most passionate about.  Giving the time and effort to know, care for, and carefully plan the education of young people is an incredibly rewarding experience.

I was born in Macon, Georgia, and lived there most of my life.  I have also lived in Atlanta, Georgia, and San Francisco, California.  I have been to Mexico and El Salvador, as well.  I now live in Houston County with my husband and our two younger children.  I am always at either school or taking care of my home and family.  Any of my former or current students can tell you that I have fun with whatever I am doing, especially teaching!  He estudiado el español 25 años, empezando en la preparatoria.  La importancia de ser bilingüe y la riqueza del lenguaje y la cultura de la gente hispanohablante son lo que intento compartir con mis estudiantes cada año.
