Enrichment IIB

I am very excited to be part of Heritage Preparatory School this year. Working with children has always been a passion of mine.  I feel extremely blessed to be part of your child’s education and shepherding their hearts.


I was raised in Jacksonville, Florida, which is where my family still lives.  I entered the University of Alabama and graduated with a business degree in 1980.  I worked in finance and investment banking for 24 years after graduating.  I spent my free time enjoying adventure travel, outward bound trips, biking tours, and working as a camp counselor.  I always enjoyed teaching Sunday school to young children.  I took a leave of absence, traveling to Siberia on The Commission Project, working with educators, teaching them about Christianity.


God finally brought me a husband (I knew he would) and blessed us with two boys.  In order to spend more time with my children, God opened yet another door- teaching!  God had perfectly molded me and shaped me for this job long before I knew I would actually be teaching.


I continue to love to travel with my family, although finding the time is much more of a challenge.  I love being a homemaker in addition to being a teacher.  I love to garden, cook, and watch my boys play ball.


I bring to the classroom life skills and a love for your children.  It is an honor to be a part of their lives and knowing that God has placed us together.  I look forward to helping them grow in the knowledge and truth of God.
