Hi!  I am excited for us to get to know each other this year! Here's a little bit about me to get us started!

I grew up in Augusta, attending local schools, and after graduation I left to attend Berry College for 4 years and got my BS in Middle Grades Education, then returned to do my Master's program, also in Middle Grades Education, at what was then Augusta State University. After teaching for a few years, I decided to go back to school again and get my specialist degree in Instructional Technology from Valdosta State.

Personal:

Although I was born in Michigan, I have lived in Augusta, Georgia for almost all of my life. My family (Dad, two sisters with their families, and a host of in-laws!) also live in the Augusta area. I am married to a wonderful computer programmer. We have two wonderful children, ages 4 and 7, and two English Mastiffs. We enjoy all kinds of family activities, and we're always ready to try something new and fun!
