Physical Education Teacher
Hello! I am so pumped to be starting my 11th year of teaching PE and my 2nd year as a Cardinal! I grew up in Punxsutawney, Pa, Home of Groundhog Day, went to college at Slippery Rock University and then transplanted south with my husband. We have a spunky 6 year old daughter, 3 dogs and a cat. I love going to the gym, playing volleyball, off-roading and cheering on the Handley Judges football team on Saturdays!Nothing happens until something moves. - Albert Einstein
