I am the deaf educator for CMCSS. I am based at Norman Smith this year and proud to be a bear! I have been teaching deaf and hard of hearing students since 1995 in TN and GA. I was born and raised in Clarksville and a product of CMCSS Schools. I graduated with my bachelor's and master's degrees from University of TN in Knoxville- GO VOLS! My philosophy on teaching is that for a student to be successful, it is a team effort. I am here for the students, but also the parents, teachers, administrators and staff. Each student will learn the skills needed to be a successful adult. I know this will be a fabulous year!
