This will be my fourth year teaching third grade at Washington Park. Before teaching third grade I taught all content areas within fifth grade. I have been teaching at WPES for 11 years and this is my 16th year in the Jasper County School System. I have a Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education/Special Education from Mercer University. Last year I earned a Masters Degree in Instructional Technology from Georgia College and State University. My husband and I have two children, a twelve year old daughter and a six year old son. We moved from Atlanta to Monticello 16 years ago and truly enjoy “small town life”.
