I was born and raised (with exception of my 10th grade year when I moved to
Nashville) in Cobb County attending Cobb schools. I graduated from
Sprayberry High School in 1980. My husband, Dan (who graduated from North
Cobb High School), and I live in West Cobb. My son graduated from GA State
University in December and now lives and works in Orlando, FL. My daughter
is a Junior at Kennesaw State University. I love to spend time with
my family and my little dog, a Westie named Polo.
I have been teaching for 15 years. I have taught both 2nd and 3rd grades.
This is my fifth year at Cheatham Hill. I taught for 10 years at Vaughan
Elementary before moving to Cheatham Hill. I am very excited about this
year's class and look forward to a GREAT year at Cheatham Hill!!
My mission in class is to create a learning environment where my students
experience lifelong learning through respect and dignity, in a safe, loving
atmosphere, where self-esteem is priority. I want to set high expectations
for all students where every child is treated equally, regardless of
individual differences. I want learning to be interesting, exciting, and
challenging so that the students can grow to their highest potential.
