I'm married to Will, a fellow teacher. He teaches Latin in another district. Needless to say, we both love history and enjoy experiencing it firsthand through travel. I also studied abroad for a semester at the University of Oxford in Oxford, UK as an undergraduate. Although COVID-19 has put a hold on travel, I still count it as my favorite hobby! I also enjoy being a local explorer in Atlanta.

This past May, our family grew! Our daughter, India, was born at the end of this past school year. She is sweet, sassy, and so lovable. She's named after my great-grandmother and I just love her so much!
Having a baby during a worldwide pandemic is weird. She'll have stories to tell her grandchildren about her unique entrance into the world!

I can't leave out our family dog, Atlas! We adopted him last December as a puppy and he is just the sweetest little guy. My husband and I let our students help choose his name. He's a black lab mix and we adopted him from a local rescue. He loves going on walks, eating baby carrots, and sneakily stealing pillows.
These are a few of my favorite things (unfortunately, some of these aren't COVID-friendly!):
- Trying new restaurants and coffee shops
- Travel by air (airports are my happy place!)
- Getting together with friends (Zoom just isn't the same!)
- Cooking
- Binging quality TV shows (all time favorites are Handmaid's Tale, Game of Thrones, Ozark, Mindhunter, Breaking Bad, Mrs. America, Peaky Blinders)
- Following sub-par reality shows (yes, I'm an avid member of Bachelor Nation)
- Walking the Beltline and my neighborhood in Decatur
