I've been a dedicated and highly motivated secondary science educator for 28 years. I've had the opportunity to teach all levels of students as well as most science courses. My Bachelor of Science degree was earned at Shorter College and then I returned to add on my teaching certificate (1995). My first teaching position was at Rome High School, in Rome, Georgia where I received the New Teacher of the Year award in 1996 and the Teacher of the Year in 2011. My Masters degree was earned from the University of West Georgia (1999), Specialist degree from Berry College (2003) and my Doctorate degree from The University of Alabama (2010). I moved with my husband to Warner Robins in 2012 and taught at Howard High School, in Bibb County for 2 years before joining the Houston County School System in 2014. After teaching at Warner Robins High School for seven years, I transferred to Perry High in 2021. 

I enjoy many outdoor activities including cycling, gardening, hiking and fishing. I am a member of the Riverside Ford / Freudenberg Cycling Team and actively compete across the state. I have earned state championship in Road Racing (3 times), Time Trialing (3 times) as well as Cyclocross (2019). 

My major beliefs are that learning should be FUN and success demands hard work. I am looking forward to another awesome year as a Perry Panther!!
