Hey Guys! I'm so excited to start this school year! Just a little about me:
This year starts my 13th year as a teacher in Cobb County. I spent 7 years working at McEachern and this is my 6th year at Hillgrove. Over my career, I have taught Spanish 1, 2, 3 and 7.
I graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Public Relations and a Minor in Spanish. In college, I studied abroad at the University of Valencia in Valencia, Spain. Five years after graduation, I realized I wanted to be a teacher (sitting at a desk all day wasn't for me!), so I got my teaching certification from the University of West Georgia. I am also Gifted Certified and recently finished my Masters Degree in Curriculum & Instruction with a focus on Gifted Education.
I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to work at Hillgrove with my husband, Patrick, who is the Director of Bands. We have two sons: Will, a 9th grader here at Hillgrove and Andrew, a 6th grader at Lovinggood. In our free time, my husband and I love to do escape rooms, game nights, obstacle races and rock climbing. We love to travel and have traveled to China, Greece, Peru, London and France!
