I have been teaching for 15 years. I started my career in 4th grade and then moved to 1st grade. I have been an instructional coach and then transitioned into the multi-classroom leader role. Currently, I am a first grade teacher.

I grew up in Front Royal, Virginia and graduated from Warren County High School. I received my Bachelors in psychology and Masters in education from the University of Mary Washington. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with family.
