“Do what you love, love what you do”. I have always loved this quote and try to live my life by it. For me, teaching students to love learning is my love!! I feel that God called me to teach during college and I have loved my career ever since. I attended Georgia State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education in 1991. I have taught in many different settings including public, private, and homeschool for over 26 years. I have taught every grade in K-6 and in Regular Education, Special Education, and Gifted Education.  

I have been married to the love of my life, Kevin Paul, for over 30 years. We have three daughters; Rachel, Rebecca, and Regan. They all have graduated from college and it has been a joy to watch them discover God’s direction for their lives. Regan, our youngest, has a degree in Cross-Cultural Studies in Adult Education with a minor in TESOL and is working for a non-profit in Atlanta.  Rebecca, our middle daughter, is married to Collin and is a high school Chemistry teacher inWarner Robbins. Lastly, our oldest daughter, Rachel, is married to Trey, and live in Tampa, and is serving as a hospital Chaplin, after finishing her Master's in Divinity at Vanderbilt.

One of my favorite things to do is spending time with my family, especially at the lake!  I also love to read, travel, and eat CHOCOLATE!
