A little about me:
I live in Middleton with my 2 beautiful golden retrievers (Nima and Kashi)
This is my 6th official year of teaching, 3 years in Cary, NC and 2 years in Sumter County Public Schools ( I taught two additional years in Upstate NY as a long term sub for medical leaves)
Have always taught either 4th or 5th grades
Bachelor's Degree in English from NCSU (Go Wolfpack!) and Master's in Literacy from SUNY Albany
I love cooking, reading, being outside exploring our beautiful world and learning new things (currently learning watercolor painting and accepting all tips and tricks!)
I'm super excited to get to know you all this year! I know it will be a year of growth, challenges and opportunity for all of us.
