I am a native of Manchester, TN and moved to Clarksville in 2007 to attend Austin Peay State University. Within the first few weeks of college I met my husband, Scott Patterson. We have been married since June 2010. My hobbies include hiking, training for and completing triathlons, playing guitar, reading, and spending time with family and friends.

I graduated from Austin Peay in 2011 with my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, and obtained a Masters of Arts in Teaching with endorsements in Special Education and ESL (English as a Second Language) from Austin Peay in 2019.

I have been teaching since 2011 (Kindergarten for 6 years, Third Grade for 1 year, Special Education for 3 years, and now ESL). I am happy to be a part of the Sango Family! I am excited to see what the year has in store, and I look forward to working alongside you and your child! It will be a SUPER year!
