I also have a Master of Arts in Christian Education and Leadership from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. My plan for the near future is to earn a Doctorate degree in Secondary Education from Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. During the course of my 30 + years of teaching, I have one consistent observation: All students can learn! The challenge and excitement for me over the years is to figure out how my students learn and what motivates them to learn. I enjoy teaching in a classroom setting, but I thoroughly enjoy working one-on-one with students. I am fulfilled as a teacher in many ways such as when I can help one of my 10th graders past a difficult test or assist one of my seniors to perform well enough to get accepted to the college of his or her dreams! My strongest teaching passions are English literature and language. Outside the classroom, I play keyboards in a local band, I lift weights, and ride my Harley Davidson whenever I have opportunity.
