A bit about your teacher I graduated in 2008 from Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee with a degree in History. Although born and raised in Atlanta, I decided after school to move to Richmond with my older sister. In between coaching lacrosse and working at Starbucks, I received my teaching certification from the University of Richmond this past January. Now, I couldn’t be more excited to be your child’s teacher! Supplies your child needs 1. backpack
