About Your Teachers

Hi! I am thrilled to be a part of the Durant Road Elementary family! I have been teaching fifteen years in Wake County. Growing up in a military family, I lived in various locations around the world. I went to the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia and received my Masters degree at NC State. I have two daughters, an old cat, and an energetic puppy! I enjoy reading, running, anything outdoors, and spending time with family.

I believe all students can learn everyday. I'm excited to work with life long learners, willing to try new things and reach their goals and dreams.

Favorites: Color: yellow Snacks/Treats: Coffee, Dark Chocolate, Almonds, Trail Mix, Fruit
