I have been teaching Social Studies for over 20 years. I attended Mercer University in Macon, while there I majored in History and Political Science. In 1992 I received a Liberal Arts degree from Mercer. After college I moved to London to work for 6 months.  I then did some backpacking in Europe before moving to Athens for graduate school. I attended UGA and earned a Master's in Social Science Education. I began my teaching career in 1996 at Cedar Shoals in Athens, GA.  While teaching I completed additional coursework at UGA and received my L-5 Certificate in Leadership in 2003. I also taught at Appalachee High School in Winder and Druid Hills High School in Atlanta. 

I love every day that I get to spend with these great kids and my wonderful colleagues at OCHS!

Interests: kayaking, reading, sewing, yoga, and spending time with my family.
