This is my 10^th year at Edmondson, and my third year teaching 5^th grade. I previously was in 4^th grade for 7 years. It is great to be back teaching my favorite grade.

                As most people can tell by my accent,  I was brought up in New London, CT. I received my BS in medical technology from the University of Rhode Island and spent about 5 years as a med tech in Wisconsin and Delaware. As I was raising my children, I decided to return to school and become certified to teach. I have been in the education field close to 20 years, and 5^th grade has always been filled with students excited about learning, especially science.

                My three children are all grown now and very successful. My daughter, Theresa, is a school psych here in Williamson County; Brian is a P.A. in cardiology in Mobile; and Michael along with his wife, Rachael, both earned their PhDs. in math and are doing research at LSU. My 3 grandchildren are Williamson County students. My husband, who is a chemistry professor at Vol State, and I are VERY proud of all their accomplishments.

                In my spare time, my husband, Jim, and I love to travel. We recently spent two weeks in Europe and look forward to going back for further exploration. I also enjoy reading and all sorts of crafts as sewing, knitting, and crocheting.

                I enjoy Edmondson and am happy to be part of your child’s life.
