Hi all! I am so excited to be serving as Instructional Coach for the Southern Region. Teaching is my passion! This is my 13th year in education and it just keeps getting better!
My specialty area is reading with an emphasis on guided reading and small groups. I graduated from Lee University in Cleveland, TN in 2002. I taught 2nd and 5th grades in my brick and mortar school in TN. I served as the technology coordinator for my school and technology trainer for my district. I was also a Curriculum and Data Specialist in my school before making the move to virtual education at TNVA. I completed my Masters degree in 2004 at TN Technological University and my Ed.S. in 2006, both in Instructional Leadership. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Instructional Leadership at Liberty University.
My husband (also a teacher) and I have been married for 14 years. We have three amazing, rambunctious kiddos. Mackenzie is 13, Emily 10, and Tucker is 7. They keep us busy and inspired.
My goal is to assist teachers in applying best practices to their everyday teaching. We want students to be provided with absolutely the BEST educational experience possible. Learning is fun!!
