I am a very passionate, student-centered educator who is continually seeking to improve learning and school culture. I earned B.A. degrees in Early Childhood Education from Arkansas State University.  Third grade has been my grade of choice for the majority of my career in teaching.   I have been teaching since 2006 but started with Hartselle City Schools in the 2019-2020 school year.   My students think I am good at telling jokes and math.   I think education should be fun but rigorous!  The happier the students...the more they want to learn!

I have dedicated myself to becoming a life-long educator and learner, and strive to instill a similar desire in all of my students.
