I am thrilled to begin my 2nd year at FAST as the Gifted Lead Teacher for students in 1st and 2nd grades. Jody O'Shaughnessy has joined the TAG team this year and serves grades 3-5. The staff and students here at FAST have a passion for learning that is very exciting. After many years teaching in Cobb County, the move to a charter school has been a wonderful opportunity for me. I have lived in the Milton/ Crabapple community for over 26 years, so FAST already feels like home.

My career in education spans over three decades as a primary classroom teacher and gifted educator. I truly believe that all children can develop better critical thinking skills and abilities to solve real-world problems with guidance and support from both teachers and parents.
