I'm so excited to be teaching at Carmel Elementary on the first grade team this year! This is my 10th year teaching but I have worked and volunteered with children of a variety of ages for many years! I have both a Bachelors and Masters in Elementary Education from Western Kentucky University and was born and raised in Auburn, Kentucky. I'm an avid lover of learning, nature, and family - married to my husband for 16 years and we have 4 awesome children (3 daughters and a son)! I am looking forward to building a classroom that feels more like a family. I can't wait to learn and grow together this year!
