I have been teaching for 16 years, going on my 17th at Shirley Hills Elementary. I have a bachelor's degree from Georgia Southern and a masters in Reading and Literacy from Walden University.  I have taught both first and second grade.  I love teaching and have a passion for making sure that I provide my kids with a great learning environment. I have been married for 16 years and I have two children,  Jade and Hunter. Family is extremely important to me but I am also known to be a workaholic.
