Hello!  I grew up in rural Pennsylvania, just outside the Maryland and West Virginia border. I moved to North Carolina three years ago to begin teaching at Reedy Creek Magnet Middle School. I’m excited to start my fourth year teaching 6th grade Social Studies! In my spare time, I enjoy trying new restaurants, going to the movies, and playing my favorite hobby, pickleball. 

I am excited to return to the classroom this year to teach 6th grade Science and Social Studies at Reedy Creek Middle School. I began my journey in education through Teach For America and taught for four years before serving as an NC Career Coach, where I helped high school students explore career pathways and develop future-ready skills. I’m excited to bring that experience back to the classroom to help students make real-world connections and spark their curiosity. Outside of school, I enjoy fiber arts, creative projects, and camping with my family and friends.

Hello! This is my 10th year teaching at Reedy Creek Middle School and 12th year in education!  I am thrilled to be teaching 6th grade Social Studies again this year!  I graduated from Appalachian State University and grew up in Wake County.  I love to travel whenever possible, which truly sparked my passion for studying history. I love to read, spend time with friends and family, go hiking and dance!
