4th Grade

         I am very excited about my class this year and want to take an opportunity to introduce myself.  I was born in St. Petersburg, Florida and lived in the same house until the day I went away to college.  I attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where I received a tennis scholarship.  I received my Bachelors in Elementary Education with a minor in Sociology in 2002.  I received my Masters in Reading and Literacy from Walden University in 2006.  I am entering my 13th year of teaching and my 8th year at Big Creek.  I am very excited to be here with such a supportive and loving staff!

        On a more personal note, I have been married for almost 13 years to my best friend, Kacey.  He is also a teacher and is the Boy's Varsity Basketball Coach at Chattahoochee High School in Fulton County.  We have two wonderful children, Haley, who is 10 years old and Brady, who is 8 1/2 years old.  We also have the BEST dog in the world, Duke, who is a Golden Retriever and can do no wrong!  We also recently added another Golden Retriever, Diesel, to our family.  He is just a pup and full of wild energy!  We also have a black, furry cat named Fuzzy!  I do have to say he loves me the best.  This is honestly the first animal I have ever had who chose me as their number 1!  

            I am looking very forward to this school year and will see you soon!
