Welcome! 

     I am excited to be part of the Estes community and our wonderful 2nd grade team. Living in Asheville was goal of mine, there is no place more beautiful than these Blue Ridge Mountains. 

     Teaching is something I always wanted to do because I love helping others, especially children. I decided to take a leap of faith and make my dream a reality. I attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to obtain my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude and was awarded the 2021-2022 Student Teacher of the Year.

      As a teacher and a parent of a student at Estes I can assure you our school lives up to the slogan "Estes is the Besties!" Estes is diverse, engaging, and even with a large student body we take the time to connect with everyone in our building. We take pride in our family engagement and fabulous PTA. 

      When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, fishing, kayaking, and camping with my husband and two sons.
