Additional Information

I am very comfortable in using Microsoft Office software and other specialty software for individual offices. As an English teacher, I am experienced in writing and conversation, filing, and all basic office responsibilities. I am also accustomed to maintaining a high level of confidentiality.


I am a practicing Christian, former Sunday School teacher, married, and have two successful adult children. My husband and I live on the family farm, between Kenton and Mason Hall. I am personable, an extroverted-introvert (meaning I am conversational without being overly chatty,) and I love children. I am a voracious reader, cross-stitcher, home decorator, and cook. I enjoy travel occasionally, but I am very much a routine homebody.
