With a passion for Performing and Visual Arts, I have been teaching GiftedEducation for the past 26 years. I have a Bachelor of Science in ElementaryEducation K-6, Master of Science in Gifted Education K-12 and a Certification inInstructional Leadership K-12. During the past 26 years I have taught in Arkansas,Florida and Alabama (the last 15 years in Huntsville, Alabama). I moved toHendersonville in June 2015 with my husband to be closer to the Tennesseegrandchildren. We have three married sons and six grand children. Our youngestson, Matthew, and his family live in Pensacola and our identical twin sons both livein Hendersonville near us. We have had strong ties to Tennessee since 2003 asAbraham has been an Athletic Trainer for the Vols and David is a promoter forNashville talent. We are all so proud of our newest granddaughter, Neely, who isour miracle baby. She was born six weeks early at 4.3 pounds and perfect in everyway.
Growing up in Southern California andliving in Florida, we love the beach andany board that is ridable. I love to read,play the piano, sing on the worship teamand spend time with family and friends.My two favorite meals are steak andtacos.
