I am so excited to be teaching 6th grade social studies this year! This is my 16th year in teaching, and the third continent where I have taught! I have taught in North Carolina, Morocco, South Korea, and here in Greenville County. I got my undergrad from UNC-G, my Master's degree from NC State, and my doctorate from USC. My husband and I have one son, Levi, who is 2 years old, one dog, and two cats. When I am not teaching, I enjoy having hosting game nights and traveling to new places. You can see below the map of places that I have already visited. I still really want to visit the Scandinavian region of Europe, Japan, and India.
