Teaching is one of my passions, and I am so excited to be able to share my passion through this platform!

As an experienced and current classroom teacher, I have an Undergraduate degree in English Literature with a minor in Elementary Education from the University of Tennessee Knoxville as well as a Masters degree in Teacher Education specializing in Urban Multicultural Education. 

I have taught both Kindergarten and Third Grade for a total of 7 years, but I have experience with all ages of elementary school through 6th grade. I absolutely love all of the content for elementary and plan to gage my classes to be geared to engaging children with sight words, letter and sound recognition, number words, color words, multiplication facts, fractions, fiction and nonfiction book studies, and much more! There’s so much joy I find in the content of elementary curriculum, and it sets the foundation for an incredible journey of learning!

I have the strong belief that children learn their absolute best through building strong relationships and develop the love of learning through engaging lessons and activities. I love it when students begin to understand a new topic or the light bulb comes on! I know that as a teacher I am also a lifelong learner, and I love being able to learn new things each and every day.

I have a love of fitness and overall wellness! I hope to someday develop classes geared towards overall health, eating habits, and wellness for children as it is something I am passionate about and am continuing to also learn more about each day! 

My husband and I had our first child, Connor, in May 2020, and we are loving the new parent life!
