I'm excited to begin my 25th year in education and my first year teaching Robotics at Forest Avenue Academic Magnet. Over the years, I've had the joy of teaching at Brewbaker Primary and Bear Exploration Center. My experience includes working with first and second grade students, as well as teaching Technology. I've known since I was in elementary school that I wanted to be a teacher, and I'm grateful to continue that journey here.

I’ve been married to my husband, Bryan, for 25 years. We have two wonderful daughters, Morgan (23) and Bailey (21), and a house full of pets, including three dogs, a cat, and some chickens! In my free time, I enjoy reading, shopping, watching movies, and spending quality time with my family.

I'm looking forward to an exciting year filled with creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning in Robotics. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever have questions or would like to connect. You can contact me at mary.lanier@mps.k12.al.us.
