I have a specialist degree in Teacher Leadership with a gifted and reading endorsement.  I have two handsome boys.  One will be attending UNG this fall as a freshman and the other will be a freshman in high school. One of my favorite aspects of teaching is building relationships with children. I am excited to get to know your child and have an exceptional school year!

I am so excited to start a new chapter in my teaching career at Matt Elementary.  I have been teaching for 7 years. Within those years, I have taught 5th grade, 3rd grade, and Skills Based Autism. All of these opportunities have led me to teaching IRR at Matt Elementary. I earned my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education in 2016. Since then, I have gained endorsements in Literacy, ESOL, Special Education, and adapted Special Education. In my free time, you can find me with my family. My husband is a Lieutenant with the Forsyth County Fire Department. We have a 9-month-old daughter, Lily Kate, who definitely keeps life interesting and exciting. I can't wait to meet the kiddos at Matt and start learning and growing with them. I am looking forward to an amazing year!

I am excited about beginning another year at Matt Elementary. I taught 3rd for three years, then moved to 4th, and now am IRR. I have a BS in Accounting from the University of Alabama and returned to school to receive my teacher's certification from the University of West Georgia in 2011. I love watching kids grow and learn. There is nothing more exciting than helping them to achieve that "aha" moment after struggling with a new concept. My husband, Ted and I have been married 24 years and have two beautiful daughters; Sarah Kate and Rileigh, who both attend the University of Alabama. When I am not at school, I love spending time with my family and watching Alabama football.

This is my 10th year teaching in Forsyth County as a Special Education Teacher. I am so excited about joining the team at Matt Elementary! I have been a special education teacher for almost 20 years and have worked with Kindergarten through Junior High students in Minnesota, Florida, and now Georgia! I have a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Elementary Education, and several teaching endorsements for Special Education, ESOL, and a Reading Endorsement. My son recently graduated from North Forsyth High School and now attends UNG-Dahlonega. We chose this county to live in when we moved here 10 years ago because of the school district and I am blessed to work here so close to home and family.
