Hello,
I am thrilled to embark on a new academic year of learning and growth with my students. This will be my 12th year teaching Pre-K and my 4th year at Alston Ridge Elementary. I hail from Raeford, North Carolina, a small town south of Fayetteville, NC. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from North Carolina Central University in 2011.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy exploring walking trails, traveling to new cities and countries, watching cooking shows, and discovering recipes. I look forward to meeting each of you and having a fantastic year together!

Hey Ya'll!
I am so excited to begin a brand new year with all of your kiddos. This will be my 10th year in early childhood and my first complete year at Alston Ridge. I joined the team March of 2025 and can't wait to begin a whole new journey with you! I have served many roles in early childhood but my favorite thing is getting to form all the relationships with the students. Getting to serve the new generation and help guide them along this journey is something I take great value in.
I am currently enrolled in early childhood classes at Wake Tech and plan to further my education in Early Childhood as much as I can.
My family & I recently relocated to North Carolina from Texas. I am a mother of 5 who has been married to my high school sweetheart for 12 years now. Outside of here I enjoy spending time with family, doing projects around the house, and thrifting fun things whenever I can.
Please don't hesitate to reach out for anything as I am more than happy to assist the best I can.
I can't wait for an amazing year working with each and every one of you!
