Administrative assistant for The Learning Center at Linlee

"I am often the first face and voice of not only our school but sometimes of all Fayette County Public Schools. I believe that our students, parents, teachers and guests deserve a warm smile and a helpful attitude. Attitudes are contagious, and as anyone comes into my office it is my goal to always have an upbeat attitude, an encouraging word and a listening ear. More things in life are caught than taught.

"I also strive to have the office be calm, loving and inviting – a place where laughter is encouraged and heard often during the day. Important lessons are learned wherever students are – not just in a classroom. Being a part of their lives is so rewarding, seeing them achieve things they never thought they could.

"As the only office staff at our school, I try to give our teachers and administrative staff the same help and 'TLC' that I give to our students."
