Ms. Natalie Barker
Explorers Teacher
Hi! I’m Ms. Natalie. I am currently working towards my own BA in Education at Freed-Hardeman University. I love spending time with children. I have known I wanted to work in education since the 8th grade. I had a phenomenal teacher in 8th grade, and I vowed to be just like him. Outside of teaching, I am a theater director. I also enjoy creating art, playing my guitar, and singing. One of my favorite things about being a teacher is seeing the children’s sense of humor!
