Welcome to my 8th grade Language Arts; I look forward to working with my students and their parents. I am very thankful that God has allowed me to teach the children of Polk County  for the past 25 years,  I pray that something I teach will help each and every one of them lead a more successful life. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful family:a husband of 33 years, eight wonderful children: biological and foster: Trey-31,  Rebekah-26, Gretchen-22, Elizabeth-18, Lexi-16, David-15, Angel-14. We have 8 grandchildren: Tripp-5, Gracie-5,Amy-4, Charlotte-4, Nova Leigh-3, Owen-1, Lily- 9 months, and Ben-born in July. I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, NASCAR racing, and working with my church family.

Educational Philosophy:
I believe that all students have a right to a free education and to learn in a safe environment. These students are our future leaders, and I believe that I must be a positive role model and teach them what is right and wrong so they can be productive citizens in the future.
