Miss Rioux

I graduated from Brenau University in Gainesville, with a Bachelor of Science in Middle Grades Education, specializing in Science and Social Studies.  I look forward to teaching Physical Science to students at Crews Middle School.    I study abroad, I took science classes on the Yucatan Peninsula, the summer before my senior year of college. (Check out my pictures!)

I developed my love of the outdoors as a Girl Scout, working at summer camps in Georgia, Minnesota, and California .  I get my kicks climbing rocks, sailing, canoeing, and snow boarding. Adventure travel is my idea of a great vacation. Ask me about dog sledding in Minnesota, canoeing in the Boundary Waters, or snowmobiling around Yellowstone National Park!  My goal is to make it to all four Girl Scout World Centers. I have also backpacked along the Appalachian Trail and taken treks to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.  While in high school, I earned the Girl Scout Gold Award by writing, producing and editing a water safety video for elementary school age children.

I am a certified instructor for the COPE course with the Northeast Georgia Boy Scout Council and hold life guarding and water safety instructor certificates from the American Red Cross. 

 My father is a fire chief with the City of Atlanta and GBI; my mom is an accountant and my younger brother, Gerard, an Eagle Scout, who also graduate from Collins Hill.
