Bio
I have lived in Tennessee all my life, except for the year I was in graduate school at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. I have a BA in English from Belmont University and an MAT from UNC. I teach soph. English, remedial reading, French, and yearbook journalism. Before becoming a teacher, I was a production editor/copy editor at Abingdon Press for 20 years. The cat in the box is Missy. I also have a beautiful, and very vocal, Maine coon named Bitsy.
