About

After graduating from Ouachita in 1999, I began my 22-year teaching career at Shiloh Christian School in Springdale, Ark. While there, I taught high school Spanish for one year, then moved down to elementary where I spent the remaining 21 years teaching second grade (seven years), first grade (10 years) and fifth grade (four years). My connection to Ouachita remained strong during that time, so when the opportunity to come work here presented itself, I couldn't imagine giving any other answer than yes! I'm thrilled to be back "home."

I'm an extroverted introvert who loves being with family and friends. I prefer deep connections with a few people over not-so-deep connections with many. I have a nephew and three nieces that I adore. "Aunt Lizzie" is my favorite job/title.

My hobbies include cooking, reading, working in my flowerbeds, fishing and spending time with friends and family. I enjoy attending football, basketball and baseball games and am working on checking off visiting all the MLB ballparks.
