About me
I grew up the Cary/Apex area and even graduated from Apex High school. Back in 2002, I started as a Teacher Assistant Special Education and second grade. In 2006 I began teaching and taught fourth and fifth graders for four years. In 2010, I went to Holly Grove Middle. While there, I taught Math, Science, and Social Studies for 10 years. I love middle schoolers, so during that time I directed plays, coached volleyball, coached Science Olympiad, and helped with Winterguard and Student Council. In 2020, I came to Salem and worked with Special Education for three years. This is my second year teaching 8th grade!
