All About Me

Welcome to 4th grade!

I am excited to start my 13th year teaching. I am originally from Birmingham, Alabama where I taught 4th grade and was an instructional technology specialist for Homewood City Schools for eleven years.  My husband works in the construction field and we had an opportunity to live in Lexington, KY for two years.  During this time I stayed home with our girls and we spent our free time exploring this beautiful area.  We moved to Atlanta in 2017 and have enjoyed being a part of the Kemp family. I earned my Bachelor's degree from Auburn University (War Eagle!) and my Master's degree from the University of Montevallo.  I am currently pursuing my gifted endorsement. 

My husband Ryan, and I have 2 daughters, Molly (7) & Harper (10). We are big sports fans and enjoy attending Auburn University sporting events, Braves, Falcons, and Atlanta United games. We are National Park "geeks" and we love to travel and spend time outdoors. 

I am honored to be your child's teacher and value the impact a teacher can have on their students. I promise to encourage each and every one of my students to be lifelong learners. I will hold students accountable for their work, challenge them to be active participants in my class and encourage them to take ownership of their own education.  I am looking forward to a great year ahead!
