By His grace, she’s been chasing Him for over half of her life. His generous reward for her imperfect obedience has been a life blessed serving children and their families across a broad spectrum of needs and abilities. She earned her master’s degree in educational leadership from SMU along with teaching certifications in special needs, gifted education, and ESL.

Now retired from public education but still passionate about obeying God and loving children, the Lord has allowed her the privilege of serving the needs of the innocent unborn and their precious families in her capacity as the vice president of Tennessee Right to Life and Tennessee’s delegate to the National Right to Life Committee in Washington, D.C.
