I am so very excited about having the opportunity to teach your student this year! Here is just a brief snapshot of who I am…

I was born and have lived in the Anniston/Oxford area of Alabama my entire life. I actually first lived in the Coldwater area right when I was brought home from the hospital. My mother and father were in the Army and moved to Alabama from Washington State right before I was born. This is where they decided to settle, and I have lived here ever since. My father was a surgeon in the area, and my mother was a stay-at-home mom most of the time… tending to myself and my brothers and sisters. Spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do!

I graduated from Oxford High School in 2004 and began my elementary education career at Jacksonville State University. I fell in love with children’s literature, solving math problems, and doing crazy science experiments in my many classes. I did several student teaching and practicum experiences in local schools before graduating from Jacksonville State in 2009.

After graduating college, I got married. I enjoy spending time with my husband, Kelsey, our children, Lyla (8) and Lucy (5), Levi (2) and our dog, Max. I’m sure you will hear plenty of stories about them throughout the year!

This is my eighth year teaching at Coldwater; however, I taught for 4 years with 5^th and 6^th grade children at C.E. Hanna. I absolutely love what I do, and I am very much looking forward to helping prepare your child to become a productive and successful math citizen of our community!
