Who am I?

Who am I? I have been teaching for 11 years. I spent the first seven in 3rd grade but I have found my love in Kindergarten! I couldn't be more excited about being with your kids either!

I've been happily married to my high school sweetheart, Drew, for 11 years this October and am a proud momma to the most wonderful kids (Mary Elizabeth, 7, and Benjamin, 5). I love painting, the Razorbacks, running, chocolate, and Diet Coke.

I received a degree in Interior Design from the University of Arkansas, and enjoyed getting to do some hands-on design work for a few years. But I soon realized that kids were my passion so I quickly switched gears to education as I have always been involved with children in some way rather it be teaching dance lessons, babysitting, to lifeguarding or teaching swim lessons.  I truly think that kids make life more enjoyable and keep you young!


Thank you for sharing your kids with me everyday and brightening my life!
