I am so glad that you are in my class this year!  This year is definitely going to be an adventure and I can't wait to see where it will take us!

A little about Mrs. Darling...

I was born and raised in Rome, Ga.  I have a wonderful husband, Jake, and we have been married for going on 14 years.  We have three beautiful sons: Jacob (10), Roman (8), and Max (5).  I'm a proud big sister and have three younger brothers: Cameron, Dakota, and Elijah.  My parents and brothers still live in Rome.  I learned to love this profession from the best, my mother, who is a retired school teacher. I graduated from Pepperell High School in 2005.  I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and Ecology/Field Biology from Shorter College in Rome, Ga in 2008.  I received my Master’s of Art in Teaching from Georgia Southern University in 2011. I just completed my specialist degree in secondary science education from the University of West Georgia.

I have spent my entire teaching career in Effingham County.  This will be my 13th year teaching.  I believe that we are all life-long learners and that there is always something new and interesting to get excited about!  In the past, I have taught HS Biology, MS Earth Science, HS Physical Science, MS Physical Science, and HS Environmental Science.  I have a passion for science education and I cannot wait to share that with your students. I'm looking forward to a wonderful year! Go Eagles!
