About Your Teacher

Hi Class! I am so excited to work with all of you this year! This is my 19th year of teaching, and my 4th year at Anderson Elementary School. I have taught all grade levels from 1st to 5th, but I have been in Fourth Grade for the majority of my teaching career. My favorite part of teaching is watching my students’ faces light up with excitement when they have an “A-HA!” moment and are able to grasp a concept that was difficult at first. 

 I am originally from Wheeling, WV, and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Marshall University. I received a Master’s Degree in School Counseling from the University of West Alabama. I am married and have two sons, Jonah who is 9 years old, and Jamie who is 6. Jonah is in 4th grade at Anderson, and Jamie is in 1st.  We have two dogs - a Morkie named Gracie Mae and a White German Shepard named Lovie. We love spending time together at the beach, swimming in our pool, and playing outdoors. When I am not teaching, I am often working on my small business, Wilmington Wreaths, LLC. I love to design wreaths, swags, and garlands for my Etsy customers and friends!
