Experience:
I began my teaching career in 1997, I gained much of my experience in the area of Special Education at the Elementary Level. After 14 years in another system, I came to Tuscumbia City Schools in 2007 as the Inclusion Teacher at Deshler High School. My passion is school guidance counseling and I consider myself as an advocate for ALL students. I can not say enough about my excitement to finish out my career in the Tuscumbia School System and how thrilled I am to be here. Thanks for having me!
