I am so excited about starting my second year at RBA! This year is full of new and exciting changes. Last year I had the opportunity to love on some amazing 2nd graders, and this year I get to join the Kindergarten crew! I can’t wait to see all the growth in my kiddos this year!  I am from Pottsville, and I graduated in 2011 from Arkansas Tech University. We have been a part of New Life Church  for over 12  years. I taught for 11 years at Dover Elementary. I was able to homeschool my kiddos for a year until we found RBA. I love being able to teach students to love learning and to fall in love with Jesus! My family is growing and changing rapidly. We have 2 daughters and a son. Brynnlee is 12, Berklee is 9, and Wynn Jones is 5 years old. We will both be starting Kindergarten this year! My husband, Joel, stays busy working and being super dad. We are so thankful for the opportunity to partner with other families at RBA!

Hello RBA family! I am so excited to have the privilege to begin my second year of teaching at RBA this coming fall! I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Education at ATU in December of 2023. Since then, I have had the opportunity to sub and teach in multiple grade levels and then land in 2nd grade for my first year of teaching. My fiancé, Quinn, is a mechanical engineer working at Summit Utilities in Little Rock. I am extremely blessed that the Lord brought us together to get married this coming October! I’m so thankful for this opportunity to combine two of my greatest passions, teaching and ministry. I will be teaching 1st grade! I cannot wait to work closely with our families to create a strong biblical foundation.
