I am thrilled to be at Brevard High School! I returned last year after teaching here 2016-2022 also, and this year is my 21st year overall. I also taught at East Henderson. I believe our strength is our sense of community in this beautiful town, and BHS is an excellent extension of that. I look forward to working with students; they always inspire and teach ME. My goal is to create successful readers, writers, and speakers with constantly improving vocabulary and background knowledge. These skills unlock more choices in life than you can imagine! Reading is the portal to everything. Every child can learn; every child can grow relative to their starting point.
I am originally from Louisville, KY, and attended UK (Go, Cats!) and later UNC Charlotte for graduate school. My first degree was in Russian.
I am also a singer/songwriter/pianist. You may see me performing nearby! If so, come say hi!
