I am looking forward to my fourth year at Cumming Elementary. This is my twelfth year of teaching. I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in elementary education, and I love Auburn sports. I have been married to my husband, Shawn for 19 years. He is a high school football coach and Athletic Director. We have 3 wonderful children, Luke (17), Lexi (14), and Libby Kate (11). I am excited about the many fun and exciting things my students and I will learn and explore together this year!

I am excited about another year at Cumming Elementary! This will be my 7th year teaching and my 2nd year at CES. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in sociology, and a master's degree in early childhood education. I love being on the ELA team, and I look forward to teaching another year of writing, grammar, and reading in 5th grade!

I am looking forward to another amazing year at CES in 5th Grade! I graduated from the University of Richmond with a degree in early education and American studies. I live in Cumming with my husband, Shaun. We have three sons: Shaun Jr., Anthony, and Christopher. I enjoy spending my free time with my family, relaxing at the lake, reading, and watching my sons play football. I am looking forward to another amazing school year!

I am looking forward to lots of fun and learning this year!
