I was born in Atlanta, Georgia and moved to Tennessee with my family in 1974. I graduated from Union University in Jackson, Tennessee in 1985 with a Bachelor of Music degree in elementary and secondary education. 12 of my 24 years of teaching have been spent at Brighton High school where I’ve taught choir, general music, and drama.

I live in Atoka and have a wonderful husband and two teenage children. We attend Smyrna Baptist church in Burlison where my husband and I work with the music ministry. My hobbies include refinishing furniture, Sudoku, and singing. I love working with our BHS choirs and enjoy developing a greater appreciation for music in our general music classes. When asked what I think is the best thing about Brighton High school, without hesitation, I state that it’s the students! They are fun, easy to work with, and ready to learn.
