I have been teaching for 27 years total with 18 of those years being at Fairfield Junior High. I have taught many subjects, but I have to say science is one of my favorites. I have ALL the 6th graders for science, and I love working with this age group.
I have been married to Marty for 26 years. We have a son, Slade, who is 23 years old. Our daughter, Laykin, is 19. Slade works for the school as well right now, and Laykin plays college volleyball for Williams Baptist University in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. We have a miniature schnauzer named Zoey and two Boston Terriers, Gizzy and Bandi.
My husband and I are the directors of Nitro Heat Volleyball Club. We take girls from around the area and teach them the skills needed to be successful in the sport. We love volleyball and working with the girls. It is our hope that they all attend college after high school. If they choose to play volleyball at the upper level, then we hope to help them find a place where they will receive scholarships to play the sport they love. I also like to cook, work puzzles, and spend time with family in my “free” time.
