Teacher Bio

Hi! I am so excited to be your child’s first grade teacher this year! This past May I got married, so my new last name is Murat (formally it was Nichols).  We enjoy traveling and hiking with our dogs, Lola and Roo. I just finished my 5th year teaching. I’ve taught four years in preschool and one year in 1st grade. I can’t wait to jump into the school year with your kiddos!

I grew up and completed elementary school as well as high school in Hudson, Ohio. Growing up I enjoyed playing softball and volleyball! I have one younger brother who I enjoy going fishing and hiking with, and we also have a  family dog named Sebastian.

I graduated with honors from the University of Akron in December 2016 with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and also in Early Childhood Intervention Specialist.  In January of 2022, I graduated with my Master’s Degree from GCU in Educational Leadership.

I’m so excited to see what this year has in store for us,

Mrs. Murat
