Hello KME families and welcome to Kindergarten! I grew up in Savannah, Georgia and graduated from the University of Georgia with a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I started my teaching career in Gwinnett County where I taught 2nd grade for 9 years and 3rd grade for 2 years. After being a stay at home mom for 5 years, I began substitute teaching in Forsyth County. This included long term sub positions in 4th grade and Kindergarten. My time in Kindergarten gave me the answer to what I wanted to do next. This will be my fifth fantastic year teaching Kindergarten here at Kelly Mill! My husband, Dan, and I have been married for 20 years and we have 3 boys. Braddock is in 11th grade at Lambert High School, Cade is in 8th and Garron is in 6th at Riverwatch Middle. I look forward to working with your family and encouraging your child as they learn and grow this year!
