Hello there! I’m Payton! I’m thrilled to kick off my third year in education! My journey in education began when I stepped into a classroom as a substitute teacher at Cradlerock Elementary and I haven’t looked back since. That experience sparked a true passion for teaching, and I’ve been dedicated to growing in this field ever since. I’ve had the unique opportunity to live all over the U.S., and even spent two years in Okinawa, Japan when I was 14 and visit Korea! Those travels gifted me with a love for diverse cultures and perspectives, something I bring with me into the classroom every day. I’m beyond excited for the 2025–2026 school year and can’t wait to see what’s in store for us at MacArthur Middle!    Favorites: Color - Purple & Black  Sports - NHL or MLB  Snack - Junior mints :) Drink - Iced Coffee  Other - My Puppy and the season Fall 🧡  Born in St. Louis Missouri Went to the University of Colorado Denver  Received a Bachelors in Criminal Justice  Going to UMD for Special Education  I have a German Shorthaired Pointer
