  • High School English Teacher

Hello! I am a high school English teacher in Tennessee.  I have been teaching for over 15 years in middle, high school, and college classes. I have taught students in regular ed, inclusion, and honors. I am also the journalism/yearbook teacher.

  • I am VERY proud of my yearbook staff who has been awarded with an Honorable Mention from Jostens in the Creative Spreads category in 2010. We have also been featured in Jostens Lookbook three other times for creative covers and spreads.
  • I enjoying presenting at conferences and workshops and have been a presenter at several international and national conferences including the IRA, NMSA, and TpT. I also have several articles in various publications including The English Journal.
  • I had the personal honor of being 2013 PCHS Teacher of the Year.
  • In 2013, I submitted my Antiques Show and Tell Project to The History Channel’s Teacher Ideas Magazine and won a cash prize and a spot in the magazine!
  • In 2020, I was awarded Jostens’s inaugural Adviser Inspiration Award

Aside from teaching, I am married to my very smart (and very cute) hubby, Derek.  We have been married since 2004.  I have two beautiful nieces; they are the absolute bright spots in my life.  We love being outdoors, exploring, taking road trips, and we are blessed to live in a beautiful home in near our family.  

My “other second job” (besides writing teaching materials for TPT) is my little photography business! Photography is definitely my passion, and I love that I get to do that on the side and be a part of capturing my clients’ special memories.

When I was in Washington DC last week, we walked through this beautiful park on the way to see the monuments and Capitol lit at night. I glanced behind me, and this was one time "looking back" was worth it! This stunning view of the Washington Monument was breathtaking - a hidden gem location -- so I grabbed my husband to take a picture. I love the picture, but what makes me giggle now when I look at it is that my outfit perfectly matches the color scheme of the monument and pond; it's like we are twinning. 🤣🤣🤣⁠...⁠Sweater - #kohls⁠Shorts - #oldnavy⁠⁠#teacheroutfit #wearitwednesday #teacherstyle #teacherootd #whattheteacherwore #outfitoftheday #fashion #washingtonmonument #teacherswhotravel ⁠#sunset #washingtondc #summerfashion #summeroutfits ...

Saturday snack making for next week, which is my f Saturday snack making for next week, which is my first full week #backtoschool. This #glutenfree #chexmix is easy to make, which is perfect for me! Get any ingredients that you like along with the @chexcereal.  Mix a splash of Worcestershire sauce, dab of butter, and pinch of garlic salt to pour over the combined ingredients. Pop it in the #airfryer  for a few minutes to crisp up. That’s it! It may not make it to next week 🤣🙃

NEW Blog Post:: You’ve just been assigned the ye NEW Blog Post:: You’ve just been assigned the yearbook, or last year didn’t go so well, and you want your first days plans to be solid, effective, and fun! Does this sound like you? I’ve been there. The first week of school is a whirlwind, but in yearbook class, the first week back to school is even more topsy turvy, to say the least. When I think about what to do the first week of school in my yearbook class, I try to think of it like one of my English classes in some ways, and in other ways, it is completely different! In this blog post, I’m sharing my student-facing plans for the first week of yearbook class.⁠
