Hi there! I am so excited for another wonderful year at Augusta Circle!

I am originally from St. Louis, MO, but moved to Greenville to attend Furman University. I graduated from Furman with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a master's degree in Early Childhood Education. 

This is my fifth year at ACE and my seventh year of teaching. I have also taught 2nd Grade and 3rd Grade. A fun fact about me is that I have never taught the same grade level for two years in a row! I love getting to work with so many ages and think fourth grade is the BEST.

I absolutely love Greenville and am so happy to call it home. Outside of school, you can find me with my three dogs Charlie, Josie, and Louie. They are very sweet and keep me busy. I also love to travel and visit family. Over spring break this year, my fiancé Brandon and I will be getting married! My new name will be Mrs. Arens.

I can’t wait for an amazing year together!
