Instructor Information

I was born in Huntington, West Virginia where I went to Buffalo High School where I was a cheerleader.  I graduated with an "Accelerated Diploma".  My next adventure was going to college where I received an AB Degree in Vocational Home Economics/Language Arts from Marshall University.  (GO HERD!)  During my freshman year, an airplane crashed killed many of my friends and also a cousin on the football team.  I began teaching ninth grade English at a local high school and continued with my education during the summer at Central Michigan University where I received my MA degree in Education.
My husband Gary is President Emeritus at Virginia Intermont College where he is chairman of the History Department.  Our daughter Krista is a nursing supervisor at Wellmont Regional Hospital here in Brisitol.  She’s going back to school at ETSU to get her MSN in nursing as a nurse-practioner.  Our son Zachary is a student at Lee’s MacRae College in Banner Elk, North Carolina where he is a senior working toward a degree in environmental biology. He will graduate in December of this year.  Our dog, Lucy, is a 12 years old lab and is the baby of the household except when Eve, our daughter’s Schnalzer comes for a visit.
