I am a self-proclaimed super nerd. I love Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I also would rather be reading than pretty much anything! I have an awesome range of books available in my classroom library so feel free to stop by and browse if you're looking for something new to read.
I am very anti-snow. I moved to Raleigh in 2016 and absolutely LOVE the mild winters here. I do love to travel. I like the beach but my favorite vacations are to places where I can really delve into the history. I am always open to suggestions for my next excursion so if you have been somewhere interesting I would love to hear about it!

I enjoy gardening and cooking. In fact, when clubs are active again, you can join me for Garden Club after school. It's a great way to apply your science and math skills in a way to help others as we donate the food we grow to a local community food bank.
I also love reading, playing board games, and listening to all types of music. I invite you to suggest books, games, or music for me to try. It helps me grow as a person.
