When asked about her philosophy on education, Mattie says, “Students at any age are valuable and capable. They all deserve dignity and respect of those working with them. I believe their interests and preferences matter and that positive, encouraging relationships make all of the difference in the life of a child.” Those around Mattie describe her as joyful, patient and loyal which allows her to inspire her students to be persistent and excited about learning. In her spare time, Mattie can be found spending time with her family and friends, watching college football, or playing with her young son.
