In her free time, Mrs. Troy enjoys running (even on the treadmill!), reading and writing, playing basketball with her husband, and being with her “smallest student" (her son: Alexander)! Some of her favorite things include: music, dancing, orange coconut water, The Chronicles of Narnia, summer weather, and spending time with her hilarious and devoted family. Furthermore, Mrs. Troy is very passionate about both writing and history and hopes to instill that knowledge and enthusiasm for learning into her students!
