I am in my 25th year of teaching.  I am certified to teach social studies and language arts.  I have a degree in Intermediate Education form Lenoir-Rhyne University and a Master's Degree in Middle School Social Studies from Appalachian State University.  I am entering my 18th year at Jacobs Fork where I have coached the boys/girls cross-country teams and volleyball in the past.  In my free time I enjoy running, working out, shopping, traveling, and spending time with her husband and two children, Chloe and Luke.
