Welcome to first grade!  I began my career at Shawsville Elementary School in 2002 as a Reading Assistant.  I have been teaching first grade for twelve years, and have enjoyed transitioning to our new school at EMES!  I love our EMES family and the community that supports us!

I grew up in Christiansburg Virginia and graduated from Christiansburg High School in 1989.  I have been married to my husband Joe for 25 years.  I have two beautiful children, Amber who is 20 and Tanner, who is 18.  Amber is a nursing student, and Tanner is a senior at Auburn High School. 

I love working with your children!
