This is my eighteenth year teaching. I have taught in three states and have taught a range of ages from Pre-Kindergarten through Sixth Grade. I love what I do! I started an art program at an elementary school in Tennessee from the ground up and have many years experience in putting on huge annual art shows displaying over 3,000 pieces per year. Last year's show at BA was the largest show yet featuring more than 7,000 student pieces!
I have been married to my husband Glenn for 21 years. We have two daughters Miriam and Celia who attend Buford City Schools. We moved to Georgia over the 2015 summer break and are so happy to be here. I look forward to a school year filled with wonderful learning experiences, fun and excitement in the ART Studio at Buford Academy!
