Emily earned a Bachelor of Science in special education from the University of Georgia and a Master of Education in curriculum and instruction from Liberty University. She also holds a Teacher Support and Coaching Endorsement from Middle Georgia RESA.
She brings eight years of teaching experience to Roberts Academy, including six years as an interrelated special education teacher of middle grades English language arts and two years teaching reading in the remedial education program for the Houston County School District.
“Watching students build confidence, overcome challenges, and recognize their own strengths is one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching,” she said, and as a lifelong learner herself, she strives to instill a love of learning in every student she teaches.
She believes everyone can learn and succeed when given the right tools, and she works to create a classroom where students feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and embrace challenges as part of the learning process.
Born and raised in Warner Robins, Georgia, Emily now calls Bonaire home. Outside of work, she enjoys camping and hiking with her family, gardening, vacationing at the beach, and reading a good book.
Emily is married to her husband, Jeremy, and they have two 13-year-old sons, Tristan and Grayson.
