Welcome to 2nd grade! I have taught in Clarksville-Montgomery County since 1998. My Master's Degree is from Austin Peay State University as a Reading Specialist. My husband and I have two adorable Yorkies named Rosie and Elphie and a Maltese pup named Macy. I enjoy reading, traveling, crafting, gardening, and watching musicals. Teaching students to enjoy reading is my passion. My goal is to inspire and motivate students to love learning. My mission is to make my students feel safe, loved, and important. I can’t wait to see what this school year brings! "Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud." - Maya Angelou
