Bio

Teaching is my jam, and I am so excited for this school year. I’ve had the opportunity to teach across multiple grade levels, which has given me a strong understanding of the curriculum and a deep love for elementary education! I believe in hands-on learning and creating meaningful experiences. My goal is for every student to feel safe, loved, and confident because they know I believe in them. 

I’m married to Eric, and we’re both proud graduates of Perry High School. We have two daughters, two dogs, and love ALL sports. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks, and relaxing at the beach.
