About me
I love the outdoors, reading historical fiction, sewing, drawing, and being with my family. I have lived in Wilmington for 30 years and we have raised our two boys here. I have been a teacher for 25 years and can't think of anything I would rather do. I attended UNCW for my teaching certificate and Gardner-Webb University for my master's degree in middle education. I love teaching middle school kids and am blessed to be part of St. Mark's Catholic School.
