Greetings,

I am so excited to continue with the Peabody family for the 2023-2024 school year. It is a privilege to be part of this wonderful learning community. My focus word for this school year is "consistent".  Kindergarten is unique because it is the first step in formal education for so many students.  It is a time of learning something new almost every day.  This year we will need a lot of grace to tackle all the new things that we must learn and do.  I am very passionate about educating young children because kindergarten sets the tone for their school career.  

My family relocated to St. Louis area from North Carolina in 2020.  I have taught kindergarten, 1st grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade.  This will be my 22nd year as an educator.  I have taught in North Carolina, Virginia, Vermont, and now Missouri.  I truly believe that all children can learn if given time and a safe space to learn. 

In my spare time, I enjoy completing jigsaw puzzles, watching movies, singing, dancing, and hanging out with my family.

Communication will be a key part in our success this year.
