Hey there! My name is Miss Brown! I grew up and live in Statesville, but I spend a lot of time in Mooresville and Huntersville shopping (one of my favorite things!).

My name is Señora Durrette. I grew up in the tropical island of Puerto Rico, and we just moved to Mooresville two months ago. My husband and I have a beautiful family with three children, we have traveled and lived in different places due to the Marine Corps. My favorite place to live was Okinawa, Japan where I completed my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. We also lived in Wake County, where I had a fantastic experience teaching Spanish at an IB Magnet PYP for four years. ¡Viva Espanol!
