I was born and raised in north Florida.  I attended LaGrange College in LaGrange, GA where I earned a bachelor's degree in Spanish and Middle Grades Education, a master's degree in Middle Grades Education, and it is where I met my husband, Rusty.  We have been married for 31 years. We have one son (28), three daughters (25, 21, and 14), and a future daughter-in-law (12/11/21). This is my 21th year as an educator and my 14th year teaching in District 5. I have taught many different subjects in many different schools, but teaching math is my favorite! This year, I look forward to my second year teaching and learning in FIVE. I cannot wait to meet my students! I hope that they will love 6th grade as much as I do!
