I

Then, I went on to receive my B.S. and M.Ed. in secondary
mathematics education from Valdosta State University in 1998 and 1999,
respectively. I was a member of the Pi Mu Epsilon Mathematics Honor

I am currently pursuing my Ed.S in instructional technology. I am a high school mathematics teacher at Ware County High School. I have taught pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry at one time or another since I began teaching four years ago. I was voted Who's Who Among American High School Teachers in 2002. In addition to teaching at the high school, I have been the freshman intervention team chair, a member of the In-Tech redelivery team and served as advisor for the Key club. I have been married for five years, and my husband is an assistant principal at Ware County High School. |
