Meet the Teacher

This is my 20th year teaching 5th grade at Willow Springs Elementary School. Originally from Troy, MI, I earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with minors in Psychology and Earth Science from Michigan State University. I taught 5th grade in Pontiac, MI for a year and a half. Then in 2006, I decided that I was ready for a change and moved to Wake County. I am so thankful to be part of the WSES family! It is a pleasure to teach in such a supportive community, and I love coming to work every day!

My husband and I married in September of 2013. Fun fact: although we met in NC, we are both graduates from MSU! In April 2018 we welcomed our son, Ashton, into our family. Parenting has been such an incredible journey! Ashton is a busy little dude, but in June of 2022 we decided to add even more energy to our household and adopted our hound mix, Lulu.  Some of our favorite family activities include gardening, traveling, and listening to live music.
