I graduated from West Brunswick High School in 2013. There, I was a three sport athlete participating in Cross Country, Basketball, and Track & Field. I was also apart of National Honors Society, Interact Club, and Teen Court. My favorite thing about growing up & living in Brunswick County are the beaches, my favorite being my home town of Holden Beach.
I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in May 2017 with a Bachelor's Degree in History and my Secondary License from the Watson College of Education. At UNCW I participated in Rotaract Service Club, & Watson Student Leaders.
I currently live in Leland, NC and started teaching at South Brunswick High School in August 2017. At South I currently coach Cross Country in the Fall, Indoor Track & Field in the Winter, & Outdoor Track & Field in the Spring. I have also coached Women's Basketball & Volleyball in previous years. I am also the Teacher Advocate for the Interact Club and am apart of the Southport Evening Rotary Club.
So far at South I have taught World History, American I & American II, American History, and Civics & Economics; And, this year for the first time, I am teaching AP World History!
I love all things History, beach days, reading, running, arts & crafts, and hanging out with my family: My husband Jan (Yawn), my daughter Scarlet who is now almost a year old, my two dogs Lily & Trigger, and four cats Lucy, June, Cali, & Oreo!
