I am a mama to two big (adult) kids and two sweet old dogs. I was a military kid, graduated high school in NOLA, and received my Bachelor's Degree from Austin Peay State University with honors as a single mom.

I have taught pre-K, kinder, first grade, and third grade math and science. I'm so excited to work with 1st graders again this year! It is my favorite grade!

Outside of teaching, I love outdoorsy stuff and gardening, reading, space, stickers, crafting and painting, and spending time with my musical family.

I believe in every child's potential to achieve a bright and happy future through education, and I set high standards for my students and myself.
