Biography

I bring with me over 20 years of teaching experience across grades PreK - 7th. My journey has taken me through public and private schools in Florida and Alabama.

I grew up in Athens, Alabama and come from a family of teachers. After college my husband, Ken, and I moved to Panama City, Florida, where I taught for Bay District Schools and Gulf States Conference at Panama City Adventist Christian Academy. During that time, we were blessed with our son, Logan, who is now a high school student. After moving back to Athens, I taught for Limestone County Schools.

In my free time, some of my hobbies are traveling to new places, reading, assisting animals in need, and spending time with family and friends.
God has provided me with the opportunity to be a part of the Kentucky-Tennessee Conference. I am so excited to help children foster a love for Jesus at Lawrenceburg Adventist School.

Biography

My passion is to lead my students to Jesus. I want them to know Him as their personal Savior and to live a life of service for Him.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and afternoon walks with my husband. I am looking forward to another year at LAS!
