• Welcome to Alvaton Elementary!
• We feel blessed to have each of you as a part of
  this wonderful school.
• I attended college at Western Kentucky
  University.
• I am married and have two adorable little boys.
  Caden is six and in first grade this year and
  his little brother Braxton just turned two in
  June.
• I absolutely love teaching! Your children will
  bring smiles to my face daily.
• My goal is to make a lasting impression in the
  lives of your children and to encourage them to
  reach their highest potential.
