I am a graduate of Cullman High School and the University of Alabama. I am in my 21st year of teaching; 17 years have been spent at West Elementary School in 3rd and 6th grades. I am exited to be teaching 6th Grade Social Studies this year!

I have been married to Gary Hollingsworth for 28 years and we have 2 children. Both products of Cullman City Schools, Drake is a graduate of the University of Alabama at Huntsville and working as a chemical engineer in technical sales in North Alabama, while Callie is beginning her P3 year at McWhorter School of Pharmacy at Samford University. We love eating, relaxing at the lake, and cheering on our favorite sports teams together. We yell "Go Bearcats!" "Charge On!" "Bow Wow Bulldogs!" and, of course, "Roll Tide!"
