I was born and raised in Sumner County and have always called it home. My formative years were spent at Hendersonville Christian Academy in Hendersonville, TN., and I graduated high school in 1998 from College Heights Christian Academy in Gallatin, TN. I am a 2002 graduate of Cumberland University in Lebanon, TN., where I earned a B.A. in English, and in December 2017, I earned my Master of Arts in Education from Union University. Teaching young people is my passion, and I am thrilled to teach in Portland High School's English Department. I am a proud mother to three children: James (18), Grace (16), and Emily (11), all of whom attend Sumner County Schools.
