Hi!  I have been a proud ARES Gator since 2016! As a child I was a student with big emotions that I needed support navigating. Those big feelings are what lead me to where I am today. I'm so excited to help our students better understand and navigate their own emotions and relationships with others through Social Emotional Learning!

A little more about me, I was born and raised in North Carolina. I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from East Carolina University, Go Pirates! I now live in Apex, NC with my husband Rohan and our 'golden child' Ficklen. She's a golden retriever named after ECU's football stadium Dowdy Ficklen.  I cannot wait to continue building relationships within our Gator Community!
