Welcome to fifth grade! I am very excited to be your child's teacher this year. I began my teaching career in 1999 after earning my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Austin Peay State University. I absolutely love fifth graders and have spent all of my years teaching in a 5th grade classroom. Outside of school, I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my family. I am so proud to be a part of the Central family, and I look forward to a wonderful, productive year with your child.
