    Bio

    After 11 years of teaching English at Hillcrest, I am thrilled to have moved over to the counseling office!  I primarily serve 9th and 10th grade students and their families.

    I grew up in a military family, and we were stationed in 5 states before I settled in Tuscaloosa for college--and never left! I am a proud graduate of the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) and love cheering on my Hillcrest Patriots on Friday nights and the Crimson Tide on Saturdays!  My husband and I have two children.  When I'm not teaching or attending Hillcrest events, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and cooking.
