Born and raised in Citronelle, Alabama, I graduated with a B.S. in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from The University of Alabama. This Fall, I will begin my 18th year of teaching, and my 6th year as a Dyslexia Instructional Specialist. My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this year, and we have four children and two grandchildren. I love to spend time with my family, travel, arts and crafts, and complete home interior decorating projects. My favorite football team is the Alabama Crimson Tide! Roll Tide!
