Professional bio:

Informal Introduction to class:
My name is Ashley Stroud and I was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee.  I graduated from West High School in 2006 and have been at UTK ever since.  I have always been passionate about reading and literacy.  It is that passion and drive that have inspired me to become a teacher.  I hope to teach my students how to become life-long learners as well developing critical thinking and close reading skills.  I absolutely adore football and anything UT.  My favorite teams are the Vols and the Indianapolis Colts.  In my spare time I enjoy reading and swimming.
