Hello! As a social studies teacher at Tellico Plains Junior High School, I am in a position that allows me to share my love of history. I started my teaching career teaching 1st grade at Etowah City School for a year and have been at Monroe County Schools ever since. I spent seven years at Madisonville Middle School before moving to Tellico Plains Junior High. I have chaired several committees and served as the social studies department head for the past ten years. I was awarded a Tennessee Educator Fellowship with SCORE for the 2017-2018 school year which provided me with the opportunity to develop into an education leader, one prepared to engage legislators locally, at the state level, and nationally. It also gave me the courage and confidence to transfer from MMS to TPJHS in order to serve in the community I call home. I love teaching and believe fully that God has called and equipped me to do just that.

 

Outside of school, my husband and I are deeply involved in Addiction Recovery ministry.  Together, we have launched our own ministry, 5:17 Ministries (www.517ministries.com), to help combat addiction in our community.  We are very passionate about community service, partnering with local Celebrate Recovery groups and recovery ministries, and building a thriving recovery community in Monroe and McMinn counties.  This year, we were able to successfully launch a local Celebrate Recovery group right here in Tellico Plains that meets every Monday night at 215 Southard Street, starting at 6:00 p.m.

 

I am a birth mother to four amazing children and grandmother to four perfect grandbabies, Piper, Diana, Finn, and Rebi. I firmly believe that God has saved me from a life of lack and destruction to assist others to do the same through public education and recovery ministry.

When students are absent...

When students are absent, they need to check Google Classroom to see what they missed for any of the day(s) misses.  There, students have access to all instructions, work, videos, and handouts that were covered in class for those days.  If students don't have access to a printer, I have extra copies in the classroom that they can help themselves to.  With 139 students this year, I am not able to track students down and individually touch base with them when they are absent.
