This is my 21st year as a Certified School Social Worker/Child Guidance Specialist with Bourbon County Schools and my 20th year at Cane Ridge Elementary. I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work from the University of Kentucky as well as my School Social Work Certification. I am a Kentucky Board Certified Social Worker and a Certified Kidding Around Yoga Teacher. I am a BCHS graduate and have been a part of the Bourbon County School System in some way since I was a 4th grade student at Clintonville Elementary. Bourbon County holds a special place in my heart and I am very passionate about my job and helping my students, their families and the community in which I live. 

     I am truly blessed with such an amazing family. I have been married to my husband for over 19 years. He is a Major on the Lexington Fire Department. I am the proud mother of three beautiful, talented and intelligent daughters who are also students in the Bourbon County School system. They like to keep me extremely busy with all their extra-curricular activities. I have two German Shepherds (Vader and Mavis) and a very spoiled Lab/Hound puppy named Luna. They are definitely a important part of our family.
