Who am I?

I grew up in Brewton, AL where I attended W.S. Neal High School and then majored in secondary education/language arts at AUM.  My first teaching  job was at Hillcrest High School in Evergreen, AL.  I then transferred to Pace.  I taught English at Pace High for ten years.  Five of the ten years I taught AP Literature.  I then moved into the role of a literacy coach for four years, where my primary role was professional development for teachers in the district. I have also served as an adjunct professor at UWF and PSC.  I am currently an adjunct teacher with Santa Rosa Online as well.  This is my first year back in the classroom, and I could not be more excited to be working with freshmen.  

​

Personally speaking, I have been married for 13 years.  My husband is also a teacher.  He teachers math and coaches football and baseball at Flomaton High School in Flomaton, AL.  We live in Cantonment with our two sons, Jeremiah (4) and Ross (9).  I also have an identical twin sister, Suzie Norton, who teaches ESE at Pace High.  We live across the street from one another and both have two small boys.

​

My hobbies include: reading, writing, running, and spending time with my boys.  We spend most of our evenings at the ball fields.
