My new puppy, Daisy! She is an 'aussiedoodle' and is about 4 months old!

Me and my husband. We celebrated our one year anniversary this past summer!

This is my second year teaching at Riverdale (4th year teaching overall) and I have been so blown away by the community here--even amidst the difficulties that Covid brought! Administration is wise and caring, the teachers are kind and passionate, and the students are sweet and respectful! I am so thankful to be teaching here another year.

A little bit about myself: I grew up about one hour north of Chicago--so you might hear a bit of an accent (just to warn you!). I attended Union University in Jackson TN, where I earned my degree in English and secondary education. This is also where I met my husband and we got married the summer of 2020!

As many teachers hold this experience, it was my high school English teacher who inspired me to become a teacher. She cared about me, both academically and emotionally, she challenged me in my writing and analyzing, and she demonstrated intrinsic motivation in such an inspiring way. I will never forget the impact she had on me in the classroom, and I can only hope to have a sliver of that impact on my students.
