I graduated from Sevier County High School in 1974.  I attended the University of Tennessee and received a secretarial certificate.  I then worked as a legal secretary in Knoxville for two years.  After that, I returned to the University of Tennessee to finish my degree in education.
    I got married and moved out of state.  I started my family shortly afterward.  I have three sons.  My oldest graduated from S.C.H.S. in 2002.  I also have twins who graduated in 2005.
    I have lived in Oklahoma, Colorado, and Kansas.  I attended Wichita State University to become certified in Kansas.  I then substituted for three years before moving back to Sevierville.  I received my Master's Degree in education in 2002 while teaching full-time.
    I enjoy working with children, bowling, cross-stitch, walking, and working around the house and in the yard.  I am, also, in the process of remodeling my home, which is the home I grew up in.
