HACKETT

I started teaching here at Hackett in the fall of 2004.  I am starting my 15^th year here at Hackett.  This year I will be teaching 11^th and 12^th grade English, 11^th and 12^th grade Math, and, for the first time, a Transitions Class for our program.

I taught at Charleston for a year, and substituted for Fort Smith Public Schools. 

Before I became a teacher, I taught private flute lessons, worked at Waldonbooks, and worked at the gift shop inside Mercy Hospital.

I have one son, Nicholas, who is 10 years old and goes to school at CTK in Fort Smith.  He has ADD as well, so I totally understand your plight as a parent of a student in my program.  We do have a family dog, a cockapoo named Cubbie.  

I am a July baby!  I love the color purple, and I love to read.  I work on needlecrafts when I’m not working on something for school, and I also work with my son in Cub Scouts.  I have traveled overseas to Germany twice and love visiting places.  Coffee and Diet Cherry Diet Dr. Peppers help me to function in the mornings and during the day!
