This will be my 9th year teaching at Eastside and 3rd year teaching first grade. I believe all students have the ability to learn and deserve to have a safe, positive environment in their classrooms.  

I graduated from Rockmart High in 2009. I attended the University of West Ga where I completed my Bachelor's in 2016 and Master's Degree/STEM Endorsement in 2020. I completed my gifted endorsement in 2022.

I am married to Joseph and we have 4 beautiful children. Easton, Jaxon, Dalton, and Anniston Jo! We love them more than words can say! 

I look forward to teaching your child and making this a wonderful year!
