    • I am originally from West TN but have called East TN home for over two decades.  Prior to education, I worked in the medical field before relenting to “my calling to education.”  My career began as an Elementary Teacher before transitioning to middle school as an Instructional Coach and then to Administration.  I have held various leadership roles and served communities in rural, urban, and suburban schools.   

     

    • I came to Farragut Middle School at the beginning of the 2015-16 SY and am currently in my 24th year in education.  I strive to do what’s best and right for kids to support their growth and development to ultimately becoming functionally independent, responsible, and productive members in society to the best of their abilities.  I love being an Admiral and working with such great students, staff, and community.
