This is my first year teaching 4th grade at Paine Elementary. I am not originally from Alabama, but I am happy to call it home now after living here since 2008. I grew up in a military home and moved all over. I settled down in Birmingham after attending Samford University. I graduated with my BS in Exercise Science in 2014. After personal training for 7 years and starting my own company in 2016, I realized my love and passion for teaching. I went back to Samford University in 2018 to pursued my passion of teaching and graduated in May of 2019 with my Masters in Elementary Education. I am dedicated to each student's love for learning and success!
