After getting my B.S. I taught a maternity leave at Ashville Elementary. Then, I went to Georgia and taught Kindergarten at a Kindercare for 5 months. I was very homesick. Luckily I was offered a Kindergarten job here at West End and began in January of 1982. The next year I went to third grade and remained there until 1987 when I went back to Kindergarten. I took a leave after that year. I returned in 1998 as the Title I aid and then went to Kindergarten for a year and back to third grade for about 11 years. I returned to Kindergarten beginning in the 2010-2011 school year. I am very excited!!

I am married to Daniel and have two sons, Caleb, and Dan . I am excited that I now have two daughters-in-law Melody and Aleah. I have also been Blessed with two granddaughters, Joanna 5, and Audra 3, and a grandson Levi 10 months old.I attend church at Second Baptist Church in Altoona.
