I have been an educator since 1991.  I began my teaching carrer in Texarkana Arkansa School District where I taught 7^th and 8^th grade English until 2005.  In 2006, our family moved to Shirley, Arkansas where I taught 3^rd grade for 1 year and 5^th grade for 2 years.  We then moved to England where I taught at England Elementary for 7 years.  While at England, I taught 3^rd and 4^th grades before moving to the elementary library in 2013.  After graduating with my Masters in 2015, I got the opportunity to come to Magnet Cove.  I have been in the high school library since the fall of 2015.  I am also the Beta Club Sponsor and the Community Service Learning Coordinator as well as District Testing Coordinator for Magnet Cove.

I am an AVID Razorbacks football fan.  I also love reading and spending time with my family and friends. I am a big fan of true crime books and shows.  

I am in my 7th year as the Media Specialist for grades 6-12.  This year begins my30^th year in education.  I love working with kids and I love books, so this is the perfect job for me!  Magnet is a great place to teach; I am so blessed to be here!  PPRD!
