I am originally from Miami, Florida.  I moved to Memphis after graduating from high school in 1997 to attend the University of Memphis on a baton twirling scholarship.  While completing my student teaching for my Bachelor's of Science in Early Childhood Education, I was assigned to St. Francis.  I fell in love with the school and when I graduated in 2002, I began teaching 4K at SFA.  I received my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Nova Southeastern University in 2005.  During my time at SFA I have been blessed to teach 4K, kindergarten, and 3rd grade.  I am excited to begin my first year as a 1st grade teacher this year!  

 

I married my husband Chad (an SFA/SBA graduate) in 2007 and we have two children, Carrington (11) and Lochlann (8).  We also have two cats named Tonks and Lupin.

 

I love SFA and all of the wonderful things that it has to offer children.  I have enjoyed teaching dance and baton in the Extended Care program, as well as, choreographing the school's Spring Musicals.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and vacationing in our other favorite place, Disney World!
