I was born and grew up right here in Raleigh! I actually went to Durant for 3rd grade! I went to high school at Southeast Raleigh High. I then attended Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina where I received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Social Sciences. I also am a North Carolina Teaching Fellow and was able to work with a great group of students and professors in the program at Appalachian.
This will be my 13h year teaching at Durant. I have taught second grade for many years along with a 1st/2nd combination class. I absolutely love teaching! It is my mission that we learn while having fun! I want to help your child become a life long learner. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. It is so important to keep communication open between us and I would love to talk with you! I look forward to a great year together!
In my free time I love to read, shop, make crafts, exercise and spend time with my family and friends. My parents and brother and sister-in-law all live in Raleigh too. I get to spend lots of time with them and my nieces and nephew!
