I have wanted to be a teacher since I was a little girl. I grew up in NC and WV, and attended college at Concord University. This will be my fourth year at MMS and my 21st year in education. Prior to this I taught 4th grade at MIS and spent nine years at Celeste Henkel Elementary as a teacher and an instructional facilitator. I love spending time with friends and family, being a mom, and watching the sunset. In my free time I enjoy hiking, swimming, and reading. I have a strong passion for reading and am so excited to serve as the Reading Specialist for MMS!
