I am a native of Berrien County.  I have attended various colleges which include ABAC,  Fort Valley State College, and Troy State University. My teaching career started in 1989 as a third grade math teacher for the Meriwether County School System. In 2003, I relocated and continued my  teaching career with the Ben Hill County Board of Education. I am very grateful for all my opportunities.  I believe that we all have special gifts and talents,  I realize my gift is to work with children.  I love working with children, it gives me great joy to see them grasp concepts!  My philosophy of life is to treat everyone with respect and love regardless of our differences!
