I grew up in Childersburg, Alabama but moved to Prattville in 10th grade.  I graduated from the old Autauga County High School!

I come from a family of educators.  My mother was an elementary school teacher and principal.  My father was a high school band director, high school principal and a university dean.  His mother was a teacher/principal.  Many other relatives have been in the field of education.  It is in my blood!

I have worked as a secretary, data entry person, computer programmer, and teacher.  I am a trained musician and have served in various choirs as a singer and as the accompanist.  I sang in the auditioned Montgomery Chorale for several years and was the Montgomery Youth Chorale pianist for five years. I have served area churches as the organist and choirmaster.  I just retired as the principal pianist with First Methodist Church in Prattville (August 2013 - Present).

I have been the accompanist for the Prattville Community Chorus for 10 years.  I also have been the accompanist for Prattville's Way Off Broadway Theatre for The Secret Garden (2018) and Oklahoma (2019).  I was the music director for Elf (2019).  This has allowed me to work with present and former students. It has been so much fun!

I have been very active in the music department at PHS.  I have accompanied various PHS music groups over the years as far north as Boston, Massachusetts in 2011 & 2016.  I was the Show Choir accompanist until 2022 but continue to assist on piano whenever I am needed at the school.  I have played at graduations, baccalaureates, honors programs, etc.  I have been the accompanist and co-music director of our annual musical for 22 years.

I have one pet, a tabby cat named Massie, who came from the humane shelter. She has been a precious addition to my home.  I am so happy to be her forever human!

I love being at PHS and am very thankful for the opportunity to work with our students.  So here is a big Go Lions and a big Roll Tide!
