Biography
 I am a native Mobilian and would not want to live anywhere else!  I have been married 21 years to my husband, Tony, who works in pharmaceutical research.  We have two beautiful sons: Paul attends the University of South Alabama, and Jude is an 8th grader at Denton Magnet School of Technology.  We also have two wire-haired Dachshunds named Gumbo and Daisy. In my spare time I love to read, spend time with family and friends, and travel.  I also enjoy watching and performing in local community theater. This is my 23rd year teaching.
