I was born in Indiana and moved to Cadiz, Kentucky, at age twelve, where I still live. I earned a Bachelor’s in English and a Master’s in Reading and Writing from Murray State University. After teaching English for Trigg County Schools for 29 years, I retired in January 2025 and shortly afterward joined the ship at Northwest. In addition to high‑school teaching, I have taught college‑level English at Hopkinsville Community College and Austin Peay State University for over a decade.

My husband and I have been married for 29 years and have three children. Our eldest daughter graduated from Murray State University and Southern Illinois University School of Law; she now practices family law in Belleville, Illinois. Our son, also a Murray State alum, works as a safety coordinator for Cupertino Electric. Our youngest daughter is a sophomore majoring in chemical engineering at the University of Kentucky and serves in the Kentucky Army National Guard.
