Hello 3rd Grade Families! I am so excited to be a part of the IVES community! From the time I was young, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I love it and always feel like I am learning new things, so I'm really thrilled to be a part of IVES and the arts integrated approach to teaching and learning.  After graduating with a Masters in Elementary Education at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN. I began my teaching career.

My husband Matt and I have 3 children: Griffin is currently in 5th grade at MRES, Jensen is currently in 4^th grade at IVES and Bowen who is 4 and attending preschool. We love to hike and explore the outdoors, and this is the perfect place to do that!
