Welcome to 3rd Grade! I am so excited to begin the 2022-2023 school year at Rockledge Elementary. I look forward to getting to know everyone. We're going to have so many fun experiences together! I graduated from Randolph-Macon College with a major in Psychology and a minor in Elementary Education. My educational WHY is to foster curiosity and creativity in my students - to not just guide them to the answers but also to encourage them to come up with and research their own questions and to grow the skills they need to become lifelong learners. A few of my favorite things are cats, jellyfish, learning about (and solving!) new mysteries, and trying new kinds of food!
