I am incredibly excited to be at Bowdon Middle. I am a 2005 graduate of Bowdon High School and was in the first ever 8th grade class at Jonesville Middle. I spent 14 years teaching high school Spanish of varying levels. I have focused on improving literacy and proficiency skills in my students’ second language, and now I get to continue to do the same in their first. I believe school and learning should be exciting and it’s up to us to create a place where students want to be. 

I graduated from The University of Georgia and love any-and-everything UGA, but especially football. I have a wonderful husband, Lanny Smith, who is also involved in the Bowdon community and two children, Greyson, a student at BMS and Emery Kate, who attends BES. We also have three fur children, Daisy, and Kirby Smart, and Charlie. 

When I’m not at school, I love to travel the world, read, cook, decorate, and watch sports. I also love to be creative and make new things. Forks up!
