I am so excited to be begin another school year and get to know my next great group of kiddos! I am a 2017 history education graduate from Austin Peay State University. I have taught 8th grade and 6th grade social studies in Virginia and Tennessee, and this will be my fourth year at NEMS! I absolutely love teaching history and watching my students make important, real life connections with the past and present!

My husband and I have two little girls (ages three and one) who keep us on our toes! My oldest definitely already acts like a middle schooler, but at least I'm used to it! In my very rare spare time, I enjoy a quiet cup of coffee, reading, gardening, and decorating.

Please reach out via email or by texting the number below if you have any issues or concerns that I can assist with!

I strive to promote responsibility, autonomy, and kindness for all students in our classroom. To achieve this, all students are expected to practice the follow classroom expectations:

  • Be Responsible- Take responsibility for your words and actions.
  • Be Respectful-Treat yourself and others with the respect and kindness you want to be treated with.
  • Be Prepared- Come to class with all your materials, completed assignments, and a positive attitude.
  • Be Punctual- Be on time and prepared to learn.
  • Be Kind- Treat yourself and others with fairness and respect.

By following the above expectations, we are working to cultivate a rich environment of respect, inclusivity, and kindness.
