About Athena

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I taught K-2 in Sullivan Co. for 29 years and love children. I worked the last two years for the Tennessee Education Association. I was the third most recent hired and they are reorganizing. Therefore, My last day with them is May 8. I hope to go back to Sullivan County to work this Fall to get my 30 years in and then retire with full benefits at age 55. I have two grown children (my son is an AP Chemistry Teacher and my daughter is finishing nursing school at ETSU). My husband of 33 years is a retired Kingsport Firefighter. We live in Colonial Heights. I have a precious golden doodle named Kya. I love reading to children, playing learning games and games just for fun; Being outdoors and swimming. *I am available to start working May 20, but have a vacation planned June 8-15.*
