I’m so excited to be joining the fourth grade team at Matt! I have been a teacher in Fl and Ga for 25 years and have taught all grades. Most recently, I spent four years as an EIP teacher and fourth grade teacher at Manning Oaks Elementary in Fulton County. I earned my Masters in Elementary Ed at the University of Central Fl and I have a Bachelors in Finance from UCF, as well. 
 
I love to run and hike in the gorgeous north Georgia mountains and enjoy reading books of all genres. Teaching is my calling and I can’t wait to begin this new adventure with my students at Matt!

This past year I completed my Online Virtual Teaching Endorsement. I believe in learning hands-on and through real-life examples to better prepare students for the future.

I’m married with three boys under five and a six year old fur baby. I love the Auburn tigers and playing golf when the weather is nice. I am obsessed with education and hoping my passion shines through to my students.
