Greetings, Leesville parents and students! I am new to the LRMS family, joining the Rocketeers in fall 2018 as a 7th grade LA teacher. My teaching experience began in training to teach college and high school English, though I decided shortly after earning my Masters degree from UNC Chapel Hill that middle school was where my interests truly resided. I have taught advanced and remedial LA in grades 6-8, including a section of advanced 8th grade English for high school credit.

In 2018, I earned my certification from the National Board of Professional Teachers. I have presented at conferences on the best practices in teaching reading and writing to middle schoolers, and I am a data-driven educator who always seeks out new and best ways to reach modern students! I also won the "Teacher to Watch" award in 2016 from the North Carolina Conference for Middle Level Educators.

I love reading, running, and eating, probably in the reverse of that order! You'll probably see me out and about in the area as I live just up the road from the school. I love to run around my neighborhood and at Lake Lynn Park, especially when I get to take my dog, Raleigh!
