​

I am so glad to be a part of LaFollette Middle

School as one of the 6th grade Language Arts

teachers. This marks my 3nd year teaching at LMS. I LOVE teaching English and I love

teaching it at LMS. For me teaching is not a job, but it is a calling.

 

                                                                 I have worked in education for 11 years.  I have been the         

                                                                 teacher for grades 6-12 at Loudon County Alternative School 

                                                                 and previous to that I worked in the Oak Ridge City School 

                                                                 system for 6 years as a TA in the Special Education Dept. and

                                                                 various CDC classrooms. I have also had positions as the 7th

                                                                & 8th grade math intervention instructor, and have been a

                                                                T.A. for the English and Science dept. at Oak Ridge High

                                                                School. I also spent some time with the Oak Ridge City 

                                                                School Central Office as a secretary in the Special Education

                                                                Department.

​

I live in Oak Ridge.  My family and I are active members of Grace Baptist Church in the Karns community. We have 3 dogs and 1 cat.  Our dogs are named  Nala, Keena & Ginger and our cat's name is Tinkerbell. We like to go camping  and we like to eat out together.  I am an avid  "wogger" (walker/runner). I have ran many 5ks, 10ks, 15ks, half-marathons and sprint and Olympic distance triathlons.
