Volunteer Coordinator

Lumpkin County Literacy Coalition

A native of Chatsworth, Georgia, I have lived in Dahlonega for eight years. In June of 2006, I retired from a 31-year career of teaching high school and college English. I taught in eight different school systems all over Georgia and have lived in the following cities: Athens, Hamilton, Buena Vista, Baxley, Valdosta, Statesboro, Douglas, and Richmond Hill. My last

seven years of teaching were at Lumpkin County High School.

I can hardly go anywhere in Georgia without running into a former student or colleague!

Since my retirement, I have become the Volunteer Coordinator for Lumpkin County Literacy Coalition and have become a certified Georgia Master Gardener. I love to read and belong to two reading groups. Another of my loves is traveling, and my next trip will be to Boston, Massachusetts. I also serve on the Leadership Coordination Council of Dahlonega Baptist Church.
