I am teaching in Gallatin county. I taught in Owen County 22 years. I moved here while I was attending UK & I've been here since. I also work for OVEC & Ky. Department of Education presenting at conferences and doing training sessions. I teach a class through WKU for teachers who are going through National Board Certification. I started out teaching Middle School Math & Reading then moved to 2nd grade & I've been teaching Preschool for the last 20 years. I absolutely love my job- the kids keep me young.

If that doesn't keep me busy enough, I'm a youth leader at my church & the youth director for our region for the Kentucky Baptist Convention.

I'm still as crazy as ever & still love to have a great time. I have my motorcycle license and love to ride. I love digging for fossils- I know I'm still a science geek:) I miss home and my friends terribly!

Oh so many memories…
Some of my favorites are:
-walking off the hill to eat lunch
(or just hanging with my girls on the wall during lunch)
-band trips, late night band practice, band camp- I will never forget how the crew- Steve, BJ, Onalee, Kim, Cathy, Sara, Tammy, William- took me under their wings & made me feel like part of the crew-thanks guys- I love you!
-pep rallies, cheerleading camp at UK
-Mr. Honeycutt saying, “people are crazier than anybody”
-Mr. Hall’s game of rise and shine
-Prom at the country club
-hanging out at fishpond with Steve Reach, Jim Banks, & Therma Dee- those were good times
-playing basketball in my yard with the crew
-UK basketball players hanging out around town in the summer
-Smoking break, although I’ve never smoked it was still a fun time to chit chat with friends
-Driving around all over the county soliciting advertisements for the yearbook- what a blast
- And who could forget the ring of fire around the mountains and the scent the smoke left on you?
