I am so excited for my 7th year here at SBE and my first year in Second grade! I began my teaching career in 1999. I graduated with my B.S. in Elementary Education from the College of Charleston. I completed my M.Ed. at Auburn University and finished my Ed.S. in Teacher Leadership/Inclusive Education in 2012. I earned my Gifted Certification in 2013. I am certified in MS Math and Social Studies. My husband and I have two sons Seth (9th-Lambert) and Evan (7th-RMS) love being here in Forsyth County and wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

I received a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education from Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo. I hold a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Teaching Through the Arts from Lesley University, as well as a Gifted In-Field Endorsement. I have been a member of the Settles Bridge community from almost the beginning, joining in 2000! It has been a honor to begin, and continue my teaching career at such an amazing school! Over twenty years has gone by in a flash and it has been a joy to be a part of so many children’s lives! I am looking forward to another wonderful year at Settles Bridge!

I am absolutely ecstatic to begin my second year as a Settles Bridge teacher! I received my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education with an endorsement in ELA from the University of West Georgia. I spent my K-12 years as a Forsyth County student, and I am so excited to continue my journey of contributing to the best county in the world! :) I love spending class time learning through experience, song, and movement. This year is going to be wonderful and I can't wait to spend it with every one.

I have taught Kindergarten and First Grade in DeKalb County, as well as preschool for the Archdiocese of Atlanta. I have been a paraprofessional working in Kindergarten and Science Lab at Johns Creek Elementary. At SBE, have been a Kindergarten paraprofessional and taught second grade for the last three years. I am excited to be back in 2nd grade at Settles Bridge for the 2022-2023 school year!

I am so excited to be starting my sixth-year teaching at Settles Bridge. I love second graders, they are so curious and eager to learn. My journey has taken me from a corporate career in human resources and training to teaching, my true passion. I have an undergraduate degree from Emory University in Psychology and Cultural Anthropology. I earned a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education with a Reading endorsement from Reinhardt University. I am looking forward to meeting you all. We are going to have a fun filled year of learning together.

I am so excited to be a part of the Settles Bridge family and 2nd Grade team! I graduated from Georgia Southern University with a degree in Early Childhood Education.  I grew up in sunny Savannah, Georgia. I have lived in the Atlanta area for about four years. I enjoy exploring the city, spending time with family and friends, and going to the beach! I aim to instill a love of learning in each child by providing engaging, hands-on learning experiences that allow students to feel confident while also meeting each child exactly where they are. I am looking forward to a wonderful year in Second Grade!
