Biography

I am a native Mobilian and would not want to live anywhere else!  I am happily married to my husband Tony who works in pharmaceutical research.  We have two beautiful sons: Paul and Jude.  We also have two wire-haired Dachshunds named Gumbo and Daisy.  In my spare time I love to read, spend time with my family and friends, and travel.  I also enjoy watching and performing in local community theater.  This is my 25th year as an educator in Mobile County Public Schools.
