I am so excited about another terrific school year! This will be my 16th year teaching. I have taught preK, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade and I work with high school bands. This is my third year at East Elementary school and my second year teaching third grade! I cannot wait to begin learning and making memories with this year's class!

I am a graduate of Cullman High School. I received an Associates Degree from Wallace State and a Bachelors Degree from Athens State. I have continued discovering new tools to use in the classroom and am AMSTI science trained in 2nd-5th grade, as well as, LETRs trained.  I love learning new things and I hope to instill that same spark for learning in my students. 

I am married to Christopher Smith and we have two children together, Madison and Grayson. Madison is headed to the University of Montevallo and Grayson will be an eighth grader at Cullman Middle School. We love exploring new places and making music together. 

Go Bearcats!
