“I am passionate about helping students integrate math into their education and applying it in their daily lives. I have always tried, as an educator, to be both challenging and nurturing. Math is present in most professional settings, but it is also essential in gaining a better understanding of the world. I guide students to recognize how math will benefit them in their professional careers and lives beyond Franklin College.”

In my spare time...
I enjoy spending time with my husband, children, and grandchildren. I enjoy traveling, especially to the mountains or the beach. I enjoy birdwatching, hiking, and visiting farmers’ markets in each area I visit. I have been involved in my church, Franklin Community Church since I came to Franklin when I was in college.
