Meet the team:
Danna Downs | BS Applied Math, MPA
I have a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics & a master's degree in public administration, both from UGA! I LOVE teaching math and began teaching high school geometry. I have taught summer school, remedial geometry, college prep, and honors! I have also taught SAT prep, prealgebra, algebra, and statistics, but geometry is my FAVORITE! I began teaching online hybrid lessons when Covid hit and started teaching on Outschool in 2022. Join me for full curriculum lessons and help your students feel confident in geometry.
Morgan Curtis | BA English Lit, MAT
I have my bachelors degree in English Literature with an emphasis in creative writing and a Masters in Teaching in English, both from the University of Georgia. I am a certified teacher through the state of Georgia in ELA 6-12. I also have Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA), from Cambridge.
I started my teaching career almost 10 years ago in South Korea teaching English at the middle-school level. Since then I have taught ELA, social studies, debate, creative writing, and even a bit of math and science. Through my work in Korea, I quickly fell in love with teaching and decided to make it my career. For me, teaching is a three step process: set high expectations, build strong relationships, and then let real work begin.
Brittany Bundren | M.Ed. Educational Admin, Certified Math 6-12, ELA 4-8, Gifted Certified
I am entering my 13th year in education and am passionate about creating a learning environment where all students feel supported, challenged, and valued. My teaching philosophy centers on personalized learning, strong relationship-building, and responsive instruction that meets students where they are and helps them grow. Students can expect an engaging, collaborative learning environment focused on both academic success and personal development. Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, playing pickleball, swimming, and spending time with my dogs.
Asia Medley | MA Education, BA History, Social Emotional Educator Certified
I am a certified educator with a degree in education and over five years of classroom experience. Students can expect interactive and fun learning lessons that make tough topics easy to understand. Outside of school, my personal hobbies include cooking, community organizing, painting, and drawing colorful pictures.
Lisa Hammet | BS and MS Microbiology, Certified 6-12, Gifted and Talented Certified from UCSD
My experience includes working for a biotech company as well in a tumor biology lab at The NIH. I worked in a forensic biology lab where I assisted with evidence collection and analysis. I have taught biology and microbiology at several community colleges. I have 13 years of teaching experience at the middle and high school levels. I spend my free time horseback riding, attending local community theater events, and travel as much as I can. I enjoy reading science fiction, watching Star Trek and Dr. Who.
