This year will be my 15th year of teaching, my sixth year in Montgomery County. I have a B.A. in English Teaching and MAEd. in Library Science K-12, both from Eastern Kentucky University. I am originally from Paintsville, KY and I have been married to my husband, Jason, for 15 years. I love reading, watching movies, singing in my church choir, nature photography, and travelling to new places. I can't wait to meet our incoming 6th grade students in person!
