I grew up in Wisconsin and North Carolina. My family moved to Mobile and I  graduated from McGill-Toolen High School. I earned my Bachelors Degree in elementary education from the University of South Alabama in 1993 and my Masters of Education in Special Education. I have also completed course work from the University of West Florida in behavior analysis. I have been working in Baldwin County Public Schools since 2006 and at SFMS since 2007. I have a daughter that attends Rockwell Elementary and my husband Bill, is a fourth grade teacher at Swift Consolidated School. We love teaching in the best public school system in Alabama.
