About Me

I grew up in Drummonds, TN, and graduated from Munford High School in 2000. I graduated from UT Martin in 2004 where I played varsity softball for four years. I majored in Secondary Education - History with a Government endorsement. I also have a Masters Degree in Education and Supervision from UT Martin. In addition to all of this I teach online courses for e4TN.

I am the assistant coach for the Brighton High softball team and the head volleyball coach. I am married to Steve Clark. We have a baby girl named Lane Elizabeth and a black puppy named Abby.  We love going fishing in the summer and enjoy snow skiing in the winter.
