I am a graduate of UAB with a B.S. in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I have been an educator for 17 years. I've been at Ashville for three years, after teaching in Jefferson County for thirteen years. As a third grade teacher, I enjoy teaching students strategies and reading skills in order for them to become better readers. I love to read and be outside in nature. I have a passion for books, learning new things, visiting new places, and I love spending time with friends and family.
