I'm a pretty simple girl. I was born in Dalton, GA, lived in LaFayette, GA until I was 3 years old. At that time, my family and I moved to Summerville, GA, and that's where I stayed until I graduated from high school; right here at CHS. With a desire for a change of scenery and a great education, I moved to Athens, GA and attended the University of Georgia, where I majored in Education, with concentrations in Math and English. I volunteered at Oglethorpe Elementary (5th grade), Burney-Harris-Lyons Middle School (mentor program) and Hilsman Middle School, while my student teaching was at Jackson County Middle School, to prepare myself for teaching. Once my coursework and student teaching were completed, I applied for a few teaching positions across the state of Georgia. I came home to CHS, instantly loved the atmosphere, interviewed, and was offered my current teaching position. This is my 8th year teaching and coaching here at Chattooga High, and I love the staff, administration, and kiddos I get to work with daily.
Outside of the classroom, I thoroughly enjoy the outdoors and spending time with my family and friends. I also have a puppy (to me), Tyson, and four outside cats: Belle, Ocho, Milo & Munson. Being on the water (skiing, kayaking, just riding in the boat, swimming, floating...) is my favorite hobby, with cooking and reading being a close second. I also love to attend concerts, travel, garden or just be outside. Watching baseball, football, catching up with my favorite TV shows (Modern Family, Black-ish, Fixer Upper, Cold Justice to name a few...), as well as going to an occasional Atlanta Braves and Georgia Bulldogs game are also some of my favorite ways to pass time. Most of my best memories come from beach/lake trips with my parents and best friend's family. Check out the pictures & captions below to see more of what I'm all about.
