I was born and raised in Lilburn, Georgia (Metro Atlanta).  I attended Georgia Southern University where I received a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education.  After graduating in May 2005, I returned to Atlanta to complete my first year of teaching first grade in Gwinnett County.    Wanting a change of pace, I moved to Nashville where I was fortunate enough to get a job at Scales teaching kindergarten.  I got the opportunity to move back to first grade, and I absolutely love it.  The students are at such an amazing stage.  I am starting my fourth year here at Scales, and feel very blessed to be here.  I am currently in graduate school earning a Masters degree in reading and math.  I look forward to taking what I have learned into the classroom. 

When I am not working, I love enjoying Nashville (it is a great city)!!  I am very close with my family, so I always make time to visit back home for a weekend.  I have two incredible parents, an older sister, a twin sister, and two great brother-in-laws.  They all reside in the Atlanta area, so I visit there often for Georgia Tech games, trips to the lake, or just hanging out.

I am looking forward to another great year at Scales, doing what I love the most!
