My family (husband and four sons) and I moved to Buford in the winter of 1999. We were happy to join the Buford community and love the strong feeling of family that pervades our town. I started my teaching career in Buford at the Academy in August of 1999. Four years later I joined the staff at Buford Middle School where I discovered that middle school kids are pretty amazing. I have taught all subject areas in 6th or 8th grade but am happiest when I am teaching science and/or math.
I am a life-long learner and love to read. In recent years, I have added gardening to my reading genres as I have developed a passion for creating gardens. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, roller skating, gardening, and playing bridge.
Life has changed in our familly as two special young ladies are now gracing the family tree. Samantha Margaret turned four in September and Katherine Anne turns two in April. Everything they say about grandchildren is true, and I am always delighted to spend time with them.
