My name is Kristie Fitzgerald and I grew up in Marietta and attended Cobb County schools. I just recently graduated from Auburn with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education-WAR EAGLE! I am so thrilled and fortunate to be teaching at Cogburn Woods. I know there is a great community support at this school and I couldn’t be anymore excited to work with everyone. Teaching is my passion and joy and when I am not doing that, I LOVE: Auburn football, vacations, playing any sports (tennis and softball), hanging out with my friends and family, cooking, and skiing anywhere. I look forward to working with the Cogburn family!
