Welcome to sixth grade! This year (2025-2026) is my eighth year teaching. My first four years were spent at Enka Intermediate School before moving to North Windy Ridge in 2022. I have previously taught both fifth and sixth grade ELA and Social Studies, two years of fifth and five years of sixth. This will be my first year as a science and social studies teacher.
I love teaching here at North Windy Ridge! I grew up in the North Buncombe district and I went to school here at North Windy Ridge. After graduating from North Buncombe High School, I went on to Mars Hill University, graduating with a degree in Middle Grades Education. I am also the choreographer for the North Buncombe Youth Theater. I choreographed the productions of Annie Jr. (2022) and The Wizard of Oz Youth Edition (2023-2024), and Aladdin Jr. (2024). I currently live in Marshall with my husband, Sam, and our three cats: Jane, Lou, and Noodle.
I took dance for 13 years at Weaverville Dance Academy.
I swam competitively from 5th grade to 11th grade.
I went to Barnardsville Elementary School.
I met my husband at North Buncombe Middle School- we were in the same homeroom in 7th grade.
