Bio

Prattville has been my home since 1998.  My husband and I have been married for twenty-nine years and we have five children -  four daughters and one son. Our children are Prattville High School graduates. I taught school for eleven years before my children were born, then,  was blessed to be a "stay-at-home" mom for ten years.  I subbed in Autauga County for two years, then returned to teaching full time in Elmore County.  After teaching in Elmore County, I accepted a job at Prattville Junior High, where I taught for two years.  After teaching at Prattville Junior High, I transferred to Daniel Pratt, where I've been teaching as a resource teacher for eight years now. The last couple of years have been difficult, but our students are awesome and are up to the tasks before us; We're going to work hard!
