I have lived in Parsons all of my life. I attended Parsons Elementary and Parsons Jr. High. I graduated from RHS in 1980. After high school, I attended the University of Tennessee at Martin where I received a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education in 1984. In 1988 I received a master's degree in Asministration & Supervision from Trevecca Nazarene College. My entire teaching career, 25+ years, has been in the Decatur County School System. One of my hobbies is reading, and I recently found out that I love to travel! I hope to visit at least one country on five ( 5) other continents: Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa, and South America. I've visited countries on two (2) continents already, Europe and Australia, and I am ready for the third!
