I am excited to join Koontz Intermediate as an ELA and Social Studies teacher. My team teacher is Beth Crenshaw who will teach Math and Science. She is AMAZING!

A little bit about me:

I have been teaching for over ten years, but took several years off when my children were little and returned to the classroom in 2018
I started out teaching High Schoolers, but have been teaching middle school for the last 5 years. This is my first year at Koontz.
I was born in Michigan, but went to college in Ohio and began my family there. (I am an MSU Spartan fan, NOT a Wolverine or Buckeye, as many assume!)
My family moved to Asheville in 2019. My daughter attends Reynold's Middle, and my son attends Koontz (Go Rockets AND Rams!)

Education:

- Proudly educated in the public school system for K-12
- Graduated Ohio Northern University BA 7-12 Secondary Education
- Licensures in Social Studies, Middle Grades ELA, and K-12 ESL
- Certified in Project GLAD since 2022
