A native of Dallas, Texas, I moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1971 where I attended East Ridge High School and graduated from Chattanooga State in 1979.  In 1986 I married my husband Ron and moved to Dalton.  We have three grandsons, Andre', Ross and Reade. 

I began working for University of West Georgia's Dalton External Degree Program in 1995 and transferred to Dalton State College in May, 2005.  Ron and I are both active in our church, First Baptist Dalton, and work as Preschool Sunday School co-directors and I serve as Women's Ministry Team Leader.   

Community work is important to me and I serve as the Chair of the NW Georgia Regional Library Board and serve on the Dalton/Whitfield Regional Library Board, Tallulah Falls School Board of Directors, and am an active member of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs. 

My grandson's are my passion, along with reading, traveling, needlepoint, and scrapbooking!.
