I am so excited for this school year! This is my ninth year at Hand-in-Hand & I love my job! It is such a joy to teach your children. Our classroom is located on E Hall, Room 8. I received my bachelor's in Early Childhood Education at The University of Georgia, received my Masters at Thomas University, and my Specialist at Georgia Southwestern. I am looking forward to a great year of learning and growing with our students.
