Welcome to QUEST!  I look forward to working with you and your child in the gifted program at Central Elementary School.

Our Class: In Carroll County, gifted education is named QUEST – Questioning, Understanding, Exploring, Solving, and Thinking.  The gifted students come to QUEST one day a week for a full day of enriching curriculum based on the Georgia Standards of Excellence as well as Georgia’s Standards for the Gifted and Talented.  We work on Critical Thinking Skills, Communication Skills, Creativity Development, and Collaboration. I also love to incorporate writing and provide opportunities for students to express individual creativity and reflect on their personal views.

A little about me:  I am originally from Rockmart, Ga.  I came to Carrollton by way of West Georgia. I started teaching in 2008. My husband is a Football Coach at Kennesaw State University and we have two precious boys, Hudson (born 2018) and Knox (born 2021). I taught third grade, fourth grade, and transitioned into the QUEST program in 2012.  I absolutely love Central Elementary and feel so blessed to be part of such an awesome group of students, parents, and teachers. Please know that I do not take lightly the responsibility of guiding your child through the learning process. As a teacher, I share your hopes and concerns.

The one overall objective I have for your child is to develop a lifelong love for the learning process. Learning to be a leader with a growth mindset is also at the top of my list for your child! My hopes are that each student will complete the year with visible growth in his/her academic work and work ethic.

Contact Me:  I hope your child enjoys being in the QUEST program. Please know I have an open-door policy and believe communication is a key factor in your child’s success. Do not hesitate to get in touch with me.
