Teacher, English I and II

I have been working here at NDA since 2017. Before that, I taught in Durham Public Schools for 4 years. I went to college at UNC Chapel Hill after graduating from AC Reynolds High School right here in Buncombe County.

In my classroom, I try to empower students to become curious readers and confident writers, while also introducing them to voices and stories from diverse perspectives. Descriptions for individual courses, along with the majority of assignments for my classes, can be accessed via Canvas.


Supplies for Class:

    • Something to write with (pens, pencils, highlighters)

    • Something to write on (some paper and some sticky notes)

    • Something to put your stuff in (a binder or a folder)

And that's really all you need! The rest will be provided.
