Teachers are special people.  They hold in their hands our precious future.  During my young adult years, I have always dreamed of becoming a teacher.  Children are my passion.  Right after graduating from Halifax County Sr. High School in South Boston, Virginia, I attended National Business College in Lynchburg, Virginia and obtained an Associate Degree in Secretarial Science.  I went to work for the former Burlington Industries in Halifax, Virginia as an administrative assistant for fifteen years.  Due to foreign competition and the facility closing, I found myself returning back to college in pursuit of a new career, my long term goal and dream.  After being out of school for 17 years, I obtained my BS in Interdisciplinary Studies with Old Dominion University and fulfilled my dream and accomplished my long term goal of becoming a teacher.  I currently teach sixth grade at Meadville Elementary School in Natalie, Virginia.  I am also currently seeking my MS in Education with Old Dominion University. 

I have lived in Southside Virginia all my life.  My very young memorable childhood years were spent in Charlotte County. I am the 3^rd child of 4 born to Mrs. Dorothy Walker and the late Mr. James A. Walker Sr.  After the death of my father, my mother moved the family to Halifax County, where I still reside today with my family, my husband and two children. 

When not attending graduate classes with ODU or working at Meadville Elementary School, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, attending church, singing in the choir, or painting pecan shell figurines.
