I am a lifetime resident of Madison County. My husband Chip and I have three adult children and seven grandchildren. I have been a member of Prince Avenue Baptist Church since 1974. I earned BA, MA, and EdS degrees, graduating Summa Cum Laude from UGA.
I have taught piano for almost 50 years and have some 10 years experience as a church pianist and assistant organist. In addition to an extensive experience and a formal education in pedagogy, I love teaching and learning and am dedicated to constantly improve.
