About Me

This is my fifth year at Moore Square Middle School and I'm excited about teaching Social Studies and electives in 8th grade. This is my tenth year teaching ELA, Social Studies, and electives in Wake County. I'm also currently enrolled in NC State's Principal Preparation Program.

I'm originally from Fredericksburg, Virginia and went to the College of William and Mary. After I graduated, I started off on an adventure-- to the Peace Corps! I taught English in Namibia (north of South Africa, west of Botswana). I loved my two years teaching grades 8-10 and was fortunate to visit in 2016. I also love talking about it-- so please ask!

Outside of school I'm an avid reader, knitter, runner, and soccer player. I also enjoy gardening, hiking, and going on road trips. When I find the time and money I also love to travel and am always planning my next big adventure. I live with my husband, Luke, our 1 year old son, Finn, and our cat, Bandit.

I'm very excited to be working with you this year and please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!​

Thanks!
