I was born and raised in Cleveland.  I graduated from Bradley Central and went on to UTC.  I graduated  in December 2006.  I have always loved being around children. Teaching has been a passion for me and I am thrilled to finally make it happen here at Hopewell.  Some hobbies of mine are cooking and exercising!   In the fall, you can find me at Tennessee football games.  In the winter, you can find me skiing in the mountains!  I love to go skiing in North Carolina and Snowshoe, West Virginia.  We are going to have a great year together! 

"Love is the reason for teaching.  It costs nothing, yet is the most precious thing one can possess."
