Welcome to my class! As a member of my newest “family”, I thought you might like to know a little bit more about me.
This year is my 16th year in the classroom, all of which have been in Gwinnett County. I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd grade, 5th grade, technology specials, and gifted (K-5), as well as Gifted Language Arts. Teaching is a second career for me, as my undergraduate degree is in Broadcast Journalism. I spent 6 years working in the newsroom at CNN before going back to school and getting my Masters Degree in Elementary Education. I also have my gifted education endorsement.
I am married and have 4 wonderful children: Julia (sophomore at University of Alabama, currently working in the Disney College Program at Walt Disney World), Erica (12th grade at Brookwood High), Owen (5th Grade) and David (5th grade). Our newest family member, Murphy, is a 1 year old Bassett-Labrador mix, and the cutest dog EVER! In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis and reading. I also enjoy writing song parodies about Language Arts and making music videos to go with them! I am a big college football fan, and enjoy spending my fall Saturdays cheering on my LSU Tigers!
