I began my teaching career in Columbus, Georgia, teaching fourth grade. I then taught fourth grade in Daleville, VA. My career continued in fourth grade after moving to New Kent, VA. While in New Kent, I moved to fifth grade and finally landed in middle school teaching math.  After ten years in New Kent, I moved to Florence, where I will continue teaching math.  I received my bachelor’s degree from Truman State University and my master’s degree from Troy State University-Phenix City.
