2nd-5th Grade Music, Federal Funds Coordinator
Where do you call home?
Union City, Tennessee
How long have you been teaching?
I've been teaching for over 20 years, but only in two school systems - USJ and Hoover City Schools in Hoover, Alabama.
What is your favorite part about your job?
My favorite part about my job is that I get to teach students to sing and dance - two things I love to do myself!
What is your favorite thing about USJ?
My favorite thing about USJ is the feel of family here. We care about and help one another. I also love that I'm now beginning to teach some of the children of the students I had when I first started here in 1992.
What is a fun fact about yourself?
Fun fact: I've met three former U.S. Presidents.
Even more fun: I was head majorette in high school and marched the 7 mile route in the 1985 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California.
