I am originally from a small town, Carbon Hill, in Walker County, Al. I graduated from the University of Alabama in 1997 with my BS degree in Psychology. I graduated from Auburn University with a M.Ed in School Counseling in 2000. I have been a school counselor since graduating with my Master's degree in June 2000. I have worked at all levels: elementary, middle, and high school.  

I have been fortunate to live in many great cities:

Knoxville, TN

Banner Elk, NC

Waynesville, NC

Savannah, GA

My husband and I have with two terrific girls (Addie and Presley), two miniature dachshunds, a Jackshund-part Jack Russell and part Dachshund, a retriever mix, a pit, two cats, and five hens that give us fresh, beautiful brown eggs (almost) daily!

I am a huge Alabama fan and have always been a Cubs fan. Ryne Sandburg was my hero when I was growing up. I was so excited that he was the Manager of the Smokies when I lived in Knoxville, TN. I also love to travel back to the mountains of NC, to Louisiana, FL, and the Mississippi Gulf.
