I am a fourth grade teacher at Glen Arden Elementary School!  I have taught at Glen Arden for more than a decade and I love being a part of this school community. All three of my sons went to Glen Arden for their elementary school years - we love this school!

I am a graduate of UNC-Asheville, where I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology and my K-6 teacher licensure. 

My husband and I have three sons. Our oldest son works in Asheville and lives close by, our middle son is a student at Appalachian State University, and our youngest son is a student at NC State. We have a dog named Dusty and two cats named Kipper and Tiki.  In my spare time I love to read, hike, ride my bike, or play cards and board games with anyone I can rope into playing with me!

Teaching is my dream job! I absolutely love coming to school each day, and I enjoy working with students in my classroom as they develop strategies that will help them grow as learners who can collaborate with others as well as think critically to solve problems.
