Welcome to First Grade!!!

Meet the Teacher

My husband, Jared and I moved to Florida in May of 2023 after our wedding in April. We absolutely love it here and just bought our first house in Parrish! We’ll be adding a golden retriever, Callaway to the family soon! We love golf, having date nights on the beach, and laying by the pool- all things outdoors and sunshine!

This will be my second year teaching first grade at Harvey as well as my second year teaching full time! After graduating from Lee University, I moved to Georgia for a year and substitute taught there before coming to Florida. I grew up right outside of Knoxville, Tennessee, so we’re also big Vol fans!

Communication

Class Dojo will be used as a primary form of communication. I’m also available via email, but will be quickest to respond to Dojo!
