I am entering my sixth year of teaching at Settles Bridge Elementary and feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of this learning community. I am a graduate of Michigan State University, and taught 3rd, 4th and 5th grades in Lansing, Michigan before moving to Georgia. I received my ESOL Endorsement in 2016. Teaching English Learners, and welcoming newcomers has always been my passion, so I am delighted to have this opportunity. This year I will also be part of the EIP support team. I look forward to this new role, and to welcoming and working with new Settles Bridge Stars as well as Stars who I already know.

My teaching career began as a Kindergarten and first grade teacher here in the Forsyth County School System. I currently teach reading and math EIP (Early Intervention Program for grades K-5. I have degrees in Early Childhood Education, Curriculum and Instruction, adn Educational Leadership.
