My sweet dog Ellie.
I grew up in Gastonia, North Carolina, which is about 20 minutes outside of Charlotte. I have a very large family; I am the second youngest of three sisters and one brother. I value my family very much and I love having them near me. I live with my youngest sister here in Raleigh.
I graduated from Meredith College with a major in Child Development and I went on to complete my K-6 Licensure in teaching. After graduating, I started my career as an assistant teacher in kindergarten at Durant. Within a few months, I was offered a kindergarten teaching position for the remainder of the year. For the next school year, I was given the opportunity to teach second grade. I was very excited about this grade placement because I completed my student teaching in second grade. I taught second grade for several years. I am very excited to be teaching first grade for my 14th year at Durant!
