I earned both my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Early Childhood Education at the University of Georgia. I also hold both Gifted Education and Reading Endorsements. I passionately pursue my goal of instilling a love for learning in children as well as challenging them to be their personal best. I am looking forward to the 2021-2022 school year and to meeting all of my new first graders!

    I am very excited to return to Daves Creek as a 1st grade teacher. My husband and I keep busy with our 3 children and their various activities. Our eldest daughter is attending Oglethorpe University. Our middle son is a sophomore in high school. Our youngest son is an 8th grader in middle school. I graduated with my BA from UCLA (Go Bruins!). I completed my MA in elementary education from San Jose State University in California. While in California, I was a kindergarten, first and second grade teacher in both the private and public sector. I look forward to another amazing year teaching on the DCES staff.
