I am a recent graduate of Lipscomb University. Immediately after student teaching at Norman Binkley, I began substitute teaching for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. I am originally from Virginia, but I have quickly become very fond of Tennessee. I’m proud to now call Nashville home and to be serving our community as a kindergarten teacher at Norman Binkley Elementary.

I enjoy teaching children as well as the challenge of helping each one of them discover success. I want my students to experience a meaningful and purposeful education that applies to their lives. It is my belief that this can be accomplished through the use of hands-on activities, cooperative learning, an integrated curriculum, and technology. It is my purpose to help every student build character and a strong academic foundation that will provide for them a future of opportunity and choice.
