Hi!  I am so excited for a great year at Ridgewood Elementary!  I am a first grade teacher and am starting my 14th year in education!  I have previously taught Kindergarten, 1st grade RLA, and 2nd grade math and science.  I graduated from Arlington Baptist College with a degree in Early Childhood Education and am certified to teach grades 1-4, and English as a Second Language.

 

I am married to my high school sweetheart, Geoff who sells cars for Gene Messer! We have two wonderful boys.  A 4th grader who also attends Ridgewood, and a 2 year old! 

 

I truly believe in the power of communication.  Making connections with students and their families is my ultimate goal because, as a team, that is how we will work together to help your child succeed academically, emotionally, and socially.   Please do not hesitate to reach out to me! I am here to serve you and your family and know it's going to be an amazing year!
