wedding anniversary in July. I was raised in Georgia. (Go Dawgs!) I spent every summer in college touring with acting groups. I love to sing. I really like oldies and jazz. Reading is more of a pastime to me than sports. I read a lot of juvenile fiction to see what is out there for my students. I enjoy traveling. I have been to thirty of the fifty United States. My favorite color is purple. Shakespeare and Jane Austen are among my heroes. I earned my undergraduate degree in Secondary Education at Welch College in Nashville, Tennessee. I taught for four years in various positions at Lighthouse Christian School. I am in the process of completing my Masters Degree at Trevecca Nazarene University. I am certified to teach English/ Language Arts (7-12) and Bible (K-12). Juvenile books worth a look: The Giver By Lois Lowry Cinder By Marissa Meyer Enchanted By Chanda Hahn
