I grew up in Gadsden, AL.  My college degree is from JSU.  I have two graduate degrees; one from the University of Alabama, and the other from JSU.  I taught kindergarten and was an elementary school librarian before coming to Southside High School in 2001.  My husband Jim and I have two children, Melody and Benjamin. Both of them are graduates of SHS. We go to MeadowBrook Baptist Church. My daughter, Melody, got married on June 27, 2009.  I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures with you.  My son is the singer you'll hear on this page!
