All About Me

My boys and I in 2010

I am mother, a sister, an aunt, and a friend.  I define myself by my faith and my hope.  I graduated this past May with my Masters in Instructional Leadership and Organizational Design.  This was the first step in re-inventing myself once again.  While this process has had it’s rewards, it has also been arduous and continues to test my perseverance and fortitude.   I continue to seek for a position that celebrates my gifts and capitalizes on my strengths.  I know there is a unique place in the world for me and I am destined to find it.  I am currently writing a book on my quest for peace and the answers of faith.  One day I will be published as I feel passionately that I have story to tell that will inspire others.

My twin son’s, who are 15, and I reside in Knoxville, Tennessee.  We just moved here from Florida so the boys could be closer to their father and we all spend time together as the new modern, blended family.  The boys and I are learning to appreciate the beauty of the Smoky Mountains and the changing seasons.  Our favorite things to do together are cook, dance, sing, and listen to music.  We also enjoy trying new restaurants and prefer local favorites to some large chain restaurant.  We are great movie watchers and often spend a Friday or Saturday evening eating at the coffee table and watching a movie.    We attend church most Sundays as a family and love Sunday afternoons on the patio at our home playing games.  On chilly evenings we light up the chiminea and gather around the fire in the mountain crisp air.
