A Little Bit About Me

This will be my 19th year teaching and I love my home here at Murrayville Elementary.  My husband of 20 years, Ed Somech, is our music teacher, also at Murrayville Elementary.  

I am a mother of two young boys: Robbie, age 16, and Matthew, age 14.  As a mother and an educator, my philosophy for teaching is to always provide a nurturing learning environment.  

My Education

In May of 2004, I graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in Elementary Education from the University of North Carolina Wilmington.  In May of 2009, I graduated from UNCW for a 2nd time with a Master's Degree in Instructional Technology...go Seahawks!!!  In December of 2019, I received my National Board Certification.
