I have worked for 30 years in treatment centers and schools in Kentucky and Tennessee. I received my Bachelor's degree in 1991 from Western Kentucky University with a minor in speech, and my Masters of Arts in Teaching for Health and Human Performance in 2009 from Austin Peay State University. I have three sons attending school in Clarksville and a daughter who is a veterans attorney. My husband is a retired combat veteran and paramedic. I am honored to be part of the K-12 Virtual team and look forward to an amazing year of learning and improving our wellness.
