I am currently in my 13th year of teaching 5th grade.  I have been at McBride Elementary for 11 of those 13 years.  I am married to Matthew Carpenter who also works in the MSCS school system, and we have two children.  Mattley is 10 years old and is a 5th grader on my same hall at McBride.  She is very active in competition dance and cheer.  Brody is 2 years old, and he loves to play and explore the world around him.  We also have two dogs, Zoey and Brooks.

I love to travel, shop, and spend time with my family.  I also enjoy monogramming and creating things for others in my free time.  We are all big Alabama Crimson Tide fans...Roll Tide!
