This is my 4th year teaching.
I am graduate of Kennesaw State University and the Cobb County School System.
I live in Woodstock with my husband, Bryan, our cat Cali, and our dog Penny.
When I am not teaching you can find me crafting, playing softball, or reading.
I love everything Pittsburgh!

This is my 6th Year at Davis.
I was born in California, but have lived in GA for 17 years.
I live in Marietta with my husband Darin, my two boys (Anthony 16 and Carson 13), and our dog Gracie.
I love to read and take pictures. When I am not at school you can usually find me at the ball field taking baseball photos.
