Family and Hobbies:
I'm married to my wonderful husband Bryce and we have 2 amazing sons, Bryce II and Brayden. Bryce is 13 and going into the 8th grade and Brayden is 9 going into the 4th grade. They are truly my 3 favorite people on this earth and nothing fills my heart more than being with them. They are my happy place! I enjoy traveling and the memories we make together. I also like cooking and taking trips to the local farmer's markets. 

A Little Known Fact About Myself
I'm a plant based eater and have been for almost 3 years. I eat plants because I feel like they nourish my soul and well-being, which helps me to feel good and be the best version of myself. My family however is not 100% plant based, but I love turning some of their favorite meals into healthier and tasty alternative plant based versions! 

What are you most excited about as you join the Givens Community?
I'm excited to meet my students and connect with them and their families. I'm excited to see their smiling faces. I'm looking forward to working together to ensure their success. I can't wait to bond with them and create an environment that's safe, nurturing, and inclusive to the diverse needs of our classroom community. Our class will be a family! 

Favorite Quote:
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. - Maya Angelou

This quote I hold true to my heart. It's important to me that every student that I encounter knows that they are loved, accepted and supported. When they enter our space I want them to feel and know that they belong.
