I have been a teacher at Newport Grammar since 1996. I went to the University Of Tennessee and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. I went on to receive my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from the University Of Tennessee as well. Even though I majored in History in college, my true love has always been Science. I have taught Science for the majority of my career. Science is all around us and it amazes me constantly. I also just enjoy teaching. This is the thing that I was meant to do. I am and have always been proud to be part of the Newport Grammar School family.

     My husband is Jay Graham. He is a farmer. I have two children. My son, Will just graduated from  Carson Newman University. My daughter, Bella, just graduated from Cocke County High School and is looking forward to attending the University Of Tennessee in the fall. I love being a part of all that they do! I have a large extended family and we are as close as a family could possibly be. I also love my bulldogs. I have two English and one Frenchie. They are hilarious!
