Welcome to my page! I'm so excited to share my love of teaching with you! It is great to have a job where I jump out of bed excited to get to work each morning! This is my 16th year teaching fifth grade at Gilchrist. Before Gilchrist, I taught third grade for 6 years at Hartsfield Elementary School. I love fifth grade! I have been married for 26 years and have two children, Emilee (20) and Preston (19). Outside of teaching, I love spending time with my family, going to the beach, cooking, and working in my yard.
