Welcome to Valley Springs!

I teach 7th grade math. I also serve as a team lead and am currently serving as the Vice Chair of the SIT team. I also help out with the Spring Musical by leading the Lighting Team and making costumes. I have worked here since 2019 and I absolutely love it!

I started my teaching career in music education. While teaching music, I found that I really enjoyed working with students in math, which led me to become certified in middle grades math in 2008. I have taught many levels of math from fifth grade through discrete math at the high school level, but my passion lies with middle school age students. My style of teaching fits well with the foundations learned during these years.

All resources for students in my class can be found in my Google Classroom.

Education:

  • Western Carolina University, BS in music education

  • Western Carolina University, BM in music, concentration in flute performance

  • North Carolina Teaching Fellow
