Profile

About Me:

I am so excited to be at Alcoa Elementary School this year! I have been teaching since 1988. My teaching experience is at the elementary level, middle school level, and high school level; I have also served as a librarian/media specialist at all three levels as well. I was born in Atlanta, but I grew up in Blount County. My family consists of my husband, Greg, and three adult daughters: Mary Alison, Molly and Emma. I love to travel, hike and kayak, and of course READ!
