About Me!

I am proud to say that this is my 5th year teaching 5th grade English Language Arts at CMS!  I was born and raised in a small town called Bethel, Ohio, which is very much like Ashland City, so I feel like I'm right at home here.  Before I became a teacher, I enjoyed many types of jobs, such as entertaining at Walt Disney World, pearl diving at Sea World (very briefly...turns out I'm not a fan of swimming for long periods of time), and bookselling at Barnes & Noble; however, teaching has been my favorite career adventure so far. 

 

I became a teacher because I love to learn.  I received an associate degree from Valencia Community College in Florida.  After moving to Tennessee, I earned my bachelor's degree from Middle Tennessee State University, and my master's degree from Austin Peay State University.  I enjoy sharing my love of reading and writing with my students! 

 

In my free time, I'm usually with my family.  I have a wonderful husband named Patrick, and together we have a daughter named Ensley, who is a Baby Bearcat at CMS and will be two years old in September 2020, and another little one due at the very beginning of 2021.  Also, I can't forget to mention our fur babies (both dogs) named Piper and Will.   

 

I love family time, reading, writing, food, walks, movies, tea, naps, ballet, broaches, Mister Rogers, garden gnomes and fairies, hardy flowers and plants, and (of course) teaching!
