Welcome to my class! I will be teaching 8th Grade Georgia Studies this year.  This is my 3rd year at Columbia Middle School and I am excited to be a raider! 

I have been married 18 years to my husband, Michael. We actually met in Middle School and dated in 8th grade. We have had four daughters: Rachel, Emily (12), Allison (10), & Madeleine (7) that have kept us very busy! 

I received my Bachelor's Degree in History from Texas State University and a Masters' Degree in North American History from Arizona State University. I was a stay at home mom and military spouse for over 10 years. Prior to that, I taught social studies for 4 years in Panama City, Florida. 

I've lived in Georgia for 8 years. I'm enjoying exploring this beautiful and historical state! I'm an avid reader and I love to travel. I have been lucky enough to visit Europe 6 times, Canada, Mexico, and 40 states. I grew up in Texas and I'll always consider it home. We've also lived in Florida and Colorado before making our home in Georgia.

I'm ready to get back in the classroom with all of you, and I'm looking forward to a great year! Please use this site and our Google Classroom page to keep up with assignments and deadlines.
