I am currently a 5th grade math and science teacher. Enka Intermediate is a wonderful place to be! I have been teaching in Western North Carolina since 2010. I grew up in the piedmont, and went to UNC Chapel Hill to get my degree in Elementary Education. After teaching for a couple of years in Asheville, I moved to Nashville, TN to get a Master's Degree in Reading Education from Vanderbilt University.  Since then, I have taught 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade.

5th grade is a very exciting year where a lot of growth happens. It is jam packed with new learning! At Enka, we take pride in showing empathy, integrity, and self-control. Displaying these character traits is just as important as mastering new content. 

I am so excited to be teaching at EIS because it's in the community where I live. I have a husband and two sons, ages 4 and 2. When I'm not at school, I'm trying to keep up with them! We love reading, playing outside, and cooking.
