I am so excited to be back at Alston Ridge for a 12th year!   I was born and raised in Ohio and graduated with my M.Ed. from The Ohio State University (Go Buckeyes!).  This is my 21th year teaching and my 18th year teaching first grade.  I live in Brier Creek with my husband, Michael, and my dog, Finn.  I love to read and take Finn on hikes.  

Hello! I am from Rockford, Illinois, where I was a teaching assistant for 16+ years. I moved to Raleigh in 2015 and have been at Alston Ridge since moving here. I have 2 daughters that both live in Raleigh. I enjoy taking walks, reading and spending time with my dog, Dottie and granddog, Arthur.
