I went to Mansfield my whole life before graduating from Mansfield High School in 1992. 

I graduated from Arkansas Tech University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education. 

I was a 5^th grade teacher at Mansfield for 27 years. I also taught 6^th grade for the last decade of those years. Over the course of those years, I taught English, social studies, and science. 

I’ve been married to my husband, Chuck, for 25 years.

We have 4 children. I have two older bonus kids, Brittany and Austin, which are grown and have families of their own. They have given me 4 grandchildren, Jemma, Kase, Jaxx and Bronx.

My son, Layton, graduated from Mansfield High School, but now lives in NWA and is getting married this year.

My daughter, Addison, is a student here at Mansfield High School, a Mansfield Tiger Cheerleader, and plays volleyball, golf, basketball, and softball.

I am a die-hard, life-long Tiger fan!        Red & White! Tigers, Let’s fight!
