After completing her Master of Arts degree at Middlebury College, she taught Spanish for many years on the high school and college levels. She has been a lecturer in Spanish at Wake Forest since 1995, where she has made the history of her alma mater into an avocation. Since 2005, she has worked closely with the student-led Traditions Council, which undertakes projects to educate the student body on Wake Forest lore, history, and traditions. In October of 2008, she was chosen to deliver the dedication speech at the unveiling of the Demon Deacon statue at BB &T Field. In April of 2009, her “Last Lecture” sparked student interest in Harold W. Tribble, which led to the writing of this book.
In her spare time, she reads biographies and attempts to train a recalcitrant beagle and an exuberant English Springer Spaniel. She and her husband Jody live in Winston-Salem, NC. They have one son, Lee. All three members of the Puckett household are Wake Forest graduates and proud Demon Deacons.view less
