Welcome to 2nd Grade! I am excited to start the 25-26 school year. While this is my 18th year teaching at River Ridge Elementary School, it is my 8th year teaching second grade. Prior to teaching second grade, I taught 4th grade for 10 years. I feel honored to continue working at a fabulous school with wonderful students, staff, and supportive parents.
I earned a Bachelor of Science from Augusta State University in Early Childhood Education, and Master of Education in Early Childhood Curriculum and Instruction. I also attain an ESOL Endorsement.
I have two adult loving daughters, Paris and Amber Marie, and one outgoing, quick-witted, intelligent, fun-loving, and energetic 5 yr. old grandson.
During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, family, and friends. I also enjoy traveling, cooking, watching sports, swimming with my teammates, teaching swim lessons, and reading a good book-preferably on the beach.
Teaching is my passion, and seeing my students' academic growth from the beginning of the year to the end is incredibly rewarding. I eagerly anticipate witnessing their progress and development throughout the year. I also look forward to a terrific school year, filled with joy of learning and inspiring your child's curiosities of the world. Here's to a year of growth and success!
