About The Teacher
This is my 25th (!!) year of teaching. I have taught first, second and third grades. I have taught at J.D. Davis, Edgewood, Midland Academy, and now Eagle Ridge. This is my seventh year teaching third grade. I am a native of Columbus, attended Columbus High School, and Columbus College (now CSU). I earned a Bachelor of Music Degree, and began my teaching career teaching 5th and 6th grade band at six different elementary schools. I did that only for one year! I later added on my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I am married with two grown children, and I have a cute dog name Chipper (as in Chipper Jones). My "other career" is as a musician. I have played flute with the Columbus Symphony for more years than some of you have been alive!! (no kidding) In my spare time, when there is some, I enjoy tennis, reading, crossword puzzles, walking, and being with my family. My idea of heaven is a book, a beach, and a lounge chair under an umbrella! I was fortunate in being selected as Eagle Ridge Academy's Teacher of the Year last year. It was quite an honor, and very much appreciated. I made it into the top ten for the county Teacher of the Year, and enjoyed the recognition that selection brought my way. I hope I will be able to live up to the expectations that now go along with the TOY distinction. I love to teach, and I hope I am able to inspire a love of learning in your children, along with a true sense of curiosity that will last a lifetime!
