Hello and Welcome to Second Grade!!

I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year! Here is a little about myself to help you get to know me.

I grew up in Weaverville and graduated from North Buncombe High School in 2020. After graduating, I attended Mars Hill University, where I received a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education in December 2023. I was able to student teach here at Leicester Elementary in the fall of 2023 and fell in love with this school! I am truly so thankful to be part of such a wonderful school community!

My husband, David, is a product of Leicester Elementary and a graduate of Erwin High School! We got married in October of 2023 and just welcomed our first baby in June 2025. 

I love being a teacher, and I take pride in being a part of this community! My hope is that I am able to make a difference in the lives of every child I have, as I know they will make a difference in mine🤍
