I am a Physical Education teacher for K-5 at Tritt Elementary in Marietta, GA.  This is my third year of teaching and I absolutely love my job.  I received my degree from Harding University in Searcy, AR, and while there I was in the best group ever called the Pied Pipers.  The Pipers are an improvisational children's theater troupe who tour around the world performing for elementary kids, elderly kids, or anyone who would like to host us.  We encourage everyone to use their imagination by not using any costumes or props.  Here at Tritt I get to have my own version of the Pipers called Tritt's Theatrical Tigers. We do several activities and stories that I learned from the Pipers.  It is so much fun!  I love to act, and my dream would be to star in a movie, but if that never happens I am perfectly fine teaching PE.  I also get to host Tiger Talk News, the morning announcement show at Tritt, every Monday - Thursday.  We have a green screen so I can do amazing things with the News!!  I also love to play sports, which is why I became a PE teacher so I can be around sports all day.  This November I am getting married to my best friend Joni.  We actually met at Tritt, where she teaches 1st grade, so being able to see Joni everyday is a huge plus for my job.

WHAT MAKES YOU PROUD TO B- WHO –U-R?

I am proud to be me because God made me extra special.  I have extreme patience, and love to be around kids every day.  Sometimes I act more silly and crazy than my kids and I think I kind of embarrass them.  :)  I'm well rounded and love giving everything and everyone a chance!!
