About the Teacher:
Experience: I graduated from The University of Memphis with a degree in Elementary Education (K-6). I also have a Special Education endorsement (mild to moderate disabilities). I started teaching 1st grade with Memphis City Schools before having my children and taking a few years off with them. After we moved to Hernando, I taught kindergarten at HBK (Hernando Baptist Kindergarten). I also worked part time doing interventions at OGCE before coming in as a full time SpEd teacher 2013. I love working with children and seeing their pride when they master new skills. I am looking forward to another great year at "The Grove"! For the 2022-2023 school year I will be working with 5th grade students in the following pod classrooms: Williamson/Howell/Gilbert and Dale/Bland/Purnell.

Bio: I grew up in Bartlett, TN. My husband Bob and I have been married for 26 years and have a set of 23 year old twins (Molly and Landon). We also have a cat named Pepper. Our family moved to Hernando almost 20 years ago and I am so thankful we did. With great schools, parks, people, and activities, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to live and raise our children!
