Thank you for visiting our website. I have been teaching for twenty-seven years, with twenty-two years being in the third grade at Farragut Intermediate School. I fell in love with the third grade when each of my three children were in school. While third grade is known to be difficult, it is very rewarding to see each child grow into strong readers and writers. My goal is to provide a positive learning-focused environment. Giving my students the ability to make positive decisions is a responsibility I hold very dear. I have high expectations for each child in my class and hope to help each of them soar beyond their dreams.
