Over the course of my career, I have taught babies, toddlers, preschool, kindergarten, first grade, third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, college, and graduate school. Since 2018, I have taught fourth grade. Fourth grade is the BEST!
I am the mom of two young adult daughters. I love animals and have a Maltese dog. My older daughter has two guinea pigs. I have taught in Tennessee, Florida, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Colorado, and Virginia.
