To my 2023/24 students...

I am overly excited to have you in my math class and work with you this school year! This is my first year at Oakland Middle School too and it will be a fantastic year! Your weekly assignments will be posted on Schoology. We will discuss absentee missed work when you return.

To my students’ parents/guardians...

I look forward to meeting you at our open house on August 15^th and working with you throughout the school year! The best way to contact me is through my email at: [email protected]. I will respond back as quickly as possible, usually that same day but within 24 hours.

A little bit about me:

I am beginning my 15^th year of teaching. I moved to Middle TN two months ago from West Tn where I taught 5th and 6th graders the subjects of math, science, or world history. The grade level and subjects varied year to year.

I have 3 sons who are all in their 30's and live in the West and Middle tn. I have 12 grandchildren with ages ranging from 6 months to 15 years, 1 brother, 1 niece, 1 nephew, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 horse and 1 pony. I enjoy time with my family, daily coffee, listening to the radio, riding my bicycle, going for walks, baking, Kayaking, Black Friday shopping, and watching TV.
