About Me

I am excited to teach third grade at Pinnacle Classical Academy!  I completed my bachelor's degree in elementary education at Mars Hill College and earned my master's degree in elementary education from Western Carolina University.  I have been teaching since 2000 and have experience in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, first, and third grade. 

I was born and raised in Andrews, NC, a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains about 40 mins from the Tennessee line. My husband and I have two children that are excited to be a part of Pinnacle as well this year. Our son is playing on the middle school soccer team and our daughter will be cheering him on from the sidelines. We love to take trips to unique places and check out the local flavor from coffeeshops to fun getaways on our paddleboards. We are looking forward to discovering all the great opportunities Shelby has to offer and would love any suggestions on places to check out. 

One of my goals is to help students grow and do more than they thought they could. I am looking forward to working together to encourage and challenge students during the fun year ahead!
