Bremen City Schools - Excellence in all we do!

In a school full of amazing educators, being named Teacher of the Year is humbling and uplifting. It affirms that experience, empathy, and high expectations matter—and in the spirit of Vince Lombardi, chasing excellence, even without reaching perfection, is well worth it.

When I think of what it means to be named Teacher of the Year, it means making an impact on kids. I'm privileged to teach them and get to know each one of them. For me, the Gandhi quote sums it up: "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

Being named Teacher of the Year is one of the greatest honors of my career and fills me with gratitude. This recognition isn’t just about what happens in my classroom, but about the love, effort, and care put into helping each student grow academically and personally.

I am truly humbled and grateful for the opportunity to represent Jones Elementary and all that it stands for. I feel blessed every day to work alongside such passionate, dedicated, and inspiring educators—truly the best in the state of Georgia.
