I began teaching at Elkins in 2020 and I absolutely love the environment here and of course my kids! I strive for my classroom to be a welcoming space that encourages each one of my students to do their best and want to learn. 

I grew up in Atlanta, GA and graduated from Georgia State University with a BS in Criminal Justice. I grew up playing in the Chattahoochee River, boating on the lake, running around Atlanta, and was a soccer player for over 10 years. I moved to Houston in 2011 for a job promotion that made it possible for me to travel across the US. I loved seeing different parts of the country (I've visited about 25 states), learning about different places, people, culture, and food is a passion of mine! I have family across the country and and internationally. My next goal is to travel to Italy and Northern Africa where I have family roots. I love to paint, read, and watch true crime documentary's. I am an avid football fan, die hard GA Bulldawgs and Falcons fan. I live with my 9 year Rottweiler mix, she's a 70lb lap dog & definitely my baby!
