I graduated from University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Arkansas.
I received my Bachelor’s Degree from University of the Ozarks and my Master’s Degree from Arkansas Tech University.
I am a Certified Academic Language Therapist with ALTA in dealing with Dyslexia.
My professional development choices usually revolve around improving reading instruction in the content areas, (specifically Social Studies).
I began teaching in 2000 in Lamar Middle School 6th grade Reading. I have taught in the district for 19 years. I have gradually gone from teaching Reading to teaching Social Studies with a reading emphasis.
I was a stay-at-home mom for many years before I went to college to earn my teaching degree. I absolutely love my career choice and am continuing searching for things to help my students.
I am married to a wonderful man who teaches English at Lamar High School. We have two children and two grandchildren. My son also works here.
My hobbies include: reading, swimming, and working in the yard.
