About Me

How did I end up at Pleasant Union?

This is my  sixth year teaching, though I have been practicing for this my whole life! I graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in Economics and worked in D.C. for 5 years. After taking a gap year to travel, the profession of teaching continued to pull at my heartstrings. That's how I ended up at UNC-Chapel Hill in pursuit of my Master's Degree in Teaching (Elementary Education). I have been teaching at Pleasant Union ever since graduating!

What are some of my interests?

I am a big fan of all sports (college basketball, tennis, football of all kinds, golf, shot-put, you name it...). Be ready to tell me what sport you play or who you root for! Maybe we will be fellow fans, or perhaps...rivals! 😁

My favorite place in the world is the beach, and I have quite the obsession with sharks. Feel free to show off any of your shell or sharks' teeth collections to me! 

Reading is one of my top hobbies, as I love to learn about the world that way. I encourage you to send me your book recommendations. I like to know what to add to my library list next.

I cannot wait to learn all about you over the next year. I am sure you will teach me many things!

I have created an Amazon wishlist to help gather supplies and resources that will enhance our students' learning experience. This wishlist includes items that will support our curriculum, classroom activities, and overall educational environment.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a significant impact on our students' education. Your generosity helps provide essential tools and resources that create a more engaging and supportive learning environment.

Thank you for your support and dedication to our third grade students!
