About The Teacher

I am thrilled to be your child's kindergarten teacher!  I am excited about 
this year and I look forward to assisting your child as he or she develops 
the skills necessary to become skilled readers and life-long learners!

I am originally from Charleston, Mississippi where I attended school in the 
Charleston public school system and graduated from Strider Academy in 1995. 
I earned a Bachelors Degree and Masters Degree from the University of 
Mississippi in Elementary Education.  I taught fourth grade for three years 
at East Tate Elementary School in Tate County.  My fourth year at East Tate 
I was able to teach kindergarten and it was then I knew I had discovered 
my "calling".  This is my fourth year at BES and I love it!  I know I am now 
HOME!  

I am blessed to have one son, Mason.  Mason is currently ten years old and 
is in the fifth grade at Batesville Middle School this year. We 
have lived in Batesville for the past eleven years and we love it! I attend 
Calvary Baptist Church where I serve on the Children's Council, Mission 
Committee, and teach Sunday School.I guess I never get tired of teaching!

Mission For The Class

It is my mission to foster and encourage a love of learning that will enable 
our children to become active and productive members of our community. Every 
child that walks through my door is special and I will do my best to meet 
each individual need.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any 
questions, concerns, or ideas that you would like to share with me.  I truly 
value families' ideas because you are your child's first and most important 
teacher!  I look forward to working with you to make a differnce in the life 
of your child!
