Hello everyone!  I am excited about another school year at BES!  This is year 17 of teaching for me.  I previously taught sixth grade in Chambers County for 14 years, and this is my third year teaching sixth grade at BES.  My husband and I have four kids, an 18 year old who graduated from Valley High School and is currently training at Fort Benning as an airborne infantryman, a 9th grader at BHS, Will, an 8th grader at BHS, Owen, and a 5th grader at BES, Sarah.  When I am not teaching, I love spending time with family and friends in their activities, playing piano and guitar and singing, relaxing outdoors at the lake and/or beach, watching movies and my favorite series, riding bikes and jogging, and reading when I have the chance.  I still love school, and one goal of mine this year is pursuing national board certification.  I love to encourage students to become lifetime learners and to watch them and help them along the way to becoming successful in their own talents and dreams.  

I am looking forward to working with students and their families and together seeing what adventures this school year will bring!
