About The Teacher

First of all, let me say that I truly love my job! I enjoy teaching every single day, and my hopes for my 
students are for them to set high expectations for themselves and to believe in themselves. This will 
be my fifth year teaching in Cobb County, and my third year at East Side. I feel very lucky to be 
at such a great school, and be part of the East Side family and surrounding community. I received 
both my Master's Degree and Bachelor's Degree from Kennesaw State University. I am starting 
my Specialist's Degree this January at Piedmont College. I set high expectations for myself as an 
educator, and hope that reflects in my students' passion for learning. I am a big kid myself, so don't 
be surprised if I am dressed up for a particular lesson. I will do anything silly to motivate my 
students. One of my favorite quotes is by Virginia Woolf, and it's "Teaching without zest is a crime!" I 
differentiate instruction to cater to all learning styles, and work hard to establish a "team" in the 
classroom. Students become intrinsically motivated to do their best, and feel comfortable in the 
classroom environment provided. I love going to extracurricular activities, and often show up at 
football games and recitals. I think communication is vital, and my door is always open for parents 
past and present.

In my spare time I enjoy traveling (especially to Europe, and ANY beach), college football, 
volunteering with the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta, attending outdoor sporting events/concerts, 
golfing (and yes, the golf bag is HOT PINK), snow skiing, deep sea fishing, reading, spending time 
with my family and friends! 







Mission For The Class

For each of my students to excel academically through a fun, engaging, and
comfortable classroom environment. My motto as an educator is: "EVERY CHILD, EVERY DAY, WHATEVER 
IT TAKES!"
