      Hi!  I am so happy to be the teacher of this wonderful group of students this year.  I thought I would tell you something about myself.   I am a wife and the mother of three wonderful daughters.  I am a grandmother of three beautiful girls and a new grandson.  My husband and I are experiencing the empty next syndrome since our baby has moved out  We still have Kodi at home, our 130 pound yellow (red) lab that was inherited from  our second daughter.  

     I have been teaching Kindergarten since 1980.  I was at Cary Woods Elementary School for five years.  I took a leave of absence for two years, when my  third child was born in 1985, and taught the kindergarten program at the Child Study Center at Auburn University for the next two years.  (This gave me more time to be at home  with baby since it was a half day program and long breaks between the quarters)  I returned to Cary Woods for the next five years.  I came to Auburn Early Education Center when it began in 1992 and have been here ever since.  My undergraduate  major was in Family and Child Development. I graduated from Auburn University in1971.  I would not trade this training for anything in the world because it gives me a greater understanding of this age child.  I received my Masters of  Early Childhood Education from Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia  (1979) when we were living there.

My hobbies include square dancing, crocheting, sewing for grandchildren,  reading romances and Christian literature,  and a little yard work. My favorite hobby is Kid Watching wherever I go!
