As a former student of Oakman Elementary and graduate of Oakman High School, I am proud to be a Wildcat!  I graduated from OHS in 1991 and continued my education at Walker College, The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, and The University of West Alabama.  Through these institutions, I have earned Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Educational Specialist degrees in the areas of Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and School Counseling.  Along the way I have been blessed with a wonderful, supportive husband, Gary, and three beautiful children, Olivia, Camden, & Ansley.

I have worked with children in some capacity for more than 25 years. I taught pre-school for six years at Carl Hare Child Development Center in Jasper, AL, 4^th grade at Sipsey Jr. High School, and 1^st and 5^th grades at Oakman before becoming the school counselor. My experience has been with children ages 2-15. This is my 7th year as the School Counselor at Oakman Middle School.
 

Most of my time is spent working with students in a preventive manner. This is accomplished through classroom guidance lessons. Small group counseling is offered as needs arise. I am available to respond to individual student problems any time. My office hours are Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.
