Hello! I currently teach 8th grade English Language Arts and Georgia Studies. I am also a gifted facilitator and grade level chair. I have an undergraduate degree in English from the University of Georgia, a Master of Arts in Teaching from Piedmont College, an Educational Specialist degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Kennesaw State University, as well as an endorsement in gifted education. With prior experience in the fields of journalism and public relations, I taught in two other districts prior to joining Oconee County Middle School. My husband and I live in Walton County and are the proud parents of eight children. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, UGA football, and supporting my children in their many activities. I look forward to working with your students this year!
