My Students

I am fortunate to teach the most beautiful minds in East Nashville at East End Prep. They are preparing to be life-long learners and I’m honored to watch them fall more in love with learning each day. They have spunk, are full of enthusiasm and practice showing grit daily. I believe they deserve the right to the most quality education they can receive to prepare them for college and beyond. They are working hard to become college-ready, and I’m so honored to journey alongside them through the process.

My Project

Can you remember the first book you just couldn’t put down? Do you remember traveling to far off worlds through literature or learning of the oceans' deep waters through non-fiction studies? Do you remember a book that made your heart tingle or your eyes water? My students are just starting on their journey to reading novels and I’m hoping to build a classroom library gets them excited for the learning adventure they’re on. Please help me in giving the most treasured scholars an opportunity to soar to new lands through reading. Your contribution will go directly towards making our classroom library come to life.
