In 2010, I graduated from the University of Georgia with a BS Ed in Early Childhood Education with an emphasis in pre-K to second grade. I taught GA Pre-K for three years before moving to middle grades mathematics for three additional years. I then moved to high school mathematics, and have mostly taught Algebra I and Geometry. I graduated with my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Georgia College and State University in 2020, and earned my Educational Specialist in Teacher Leadership in 2022. I have worked in Catoosa, Walker, Whitfield, and Gwinnett County and have experience coaching cheerleading as well as track. My husband, Lee Allen, and I have been married since 2011. We enjoy working at North Oconee High School together and have two amazing children.
