About Me:

Hello! I was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and moved to the mountains of North Carolina during my middle school years. After graduating high school, I attended college at Western Carolina University where I received my bachelor's degree in English education. While in college, I was a NC Teaching Fellow, and I also studied abroad at Wollongong University in Australia. After graduating college, I taught in North Carolina for six years, and this is my sixth year teaching in Greenville. I truly enjoy teaching middle school and am excited to begin this new year! Outside of school, I am passionate about traveling, reading, and running.

Have a great summer, Bulldogs! We will see you in August!
