Hello! I am the Academically and Intellectually gifted specialist at Glen Arden Elementary and BCS Virtual Academy. I grew up right here in Asheville, North Carolina where I attended Glen Arden as a child. I am also a proud graduate of T.C. Roberson - GO RAMS! I attended Western Carolina University where I obtained my K-6 teaching licensure and AIG add-on licensure to work with the gifted population. I have been teaching since 2007, and could not picture myself doing anything else!
I absolutely LOVE teaching and I am excited to share that joy with the students. I believe that when children are given the proper tools in their toolbox, they will be able to achieve anything they put their mind to!
Everything we do in class is closely aligned with the North Carolina state standards, and I work diligently to create integrated, exciting lessons that align with these standards. We use many resources throughout the year, and I work closely with other AIG specialist across the county to plan a fun and educational school year!
