Spending the last 18 years in third through fifth grade classrooms, I am thrilled to join the Virginia-Highland Elementary family! Originally, I am from Irmo, SC, and graduated with my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of South Carolina. My educational career spans six states on both the east and west coast and includes both public and private schools, most recently in New York City and Los Angeles. I am very excited to have recently moved back to Atlanta, where my career at APS began in 2016 teaching for three years at Mary Lin Elementary.
Building relationships, creating safe spaces, and collaborating with all stakeholders are the things I love most when building a classroom community in which all learners are celebrated and treated as family. Once named “the most famous teacher there is”, I am excited to bring my enthusiasm for learning and working with students to VHE!
My husband, Mason, and I live in Decatur with our two golden doodles, Reese and Ruby. We love spending time with friends and family, working in the yard, and traveling. I also love to read books (especially on rainy days) and enjoy a good binge on Netflix now and then!
