Greetings, parents and students!

I am thrilled to have the privilege of teaching and learning from students identified as intellectually gifted at six wonderful CMCSS elementary schools. I look forward to continuing to work with many familiar students and getting to know new ones this year.

Having majored in psychology as an undergrad, my first teaching job was as a sub during college. I earned a Master's degree from Vanderbilt, where I had supervised practicum and/or student teaching experiences in every grade level, beginning during the first term of the program. I presented my second-year capstone on gender equity in STEM education and career fields.

This year, I have the pleasure of serving as Co-President Elect with the Tennessee Association for the Gifted. Prior to this year, I served two years as VP and Representative for Middle TN with "TAG"--a nonprofit advocating for gifted children in Tennessee.
