I am so excited to be at Cross County High School! I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Education in 2011 from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. This is my 4th year to teach and I LOVE it. I have been married for almost 26 years to my high school sweetheart, Terry. We have 3 adult children, Elisabeth, Rees and Emily. All are college students. We also a 120 pound Bloodhound names Boomer, a puppy named Gus and 2 cats, Mr. Cat and Thomas. I love to paint, draw and sew. I am looking forward to my student's success here at CCHS. I plan on entering art in exhibits and competitions throughout the state.
