About Me

Since I was young it has been my desire to be a teacher. Much to my younger brother's dismay, we spent many hours as kids playing school with of course him as the student and I as the teacher. This desire to teach carried on through high school and then college where I graduated from Appalachian State with my Elementary Education degree. In 2004 I continued my education by earning my National Board Certification. This past year I maintained my certification for a 2nd time. I was also a part of Wake County's Teacher Leader Corp where I collaborated with other teachers as we looked at ways to utilize 21st century learning in our classrooms. Currently, I am fortunate to be the Mentor Coordinator for our school which gives me the opportunity to work with our beginning teachers and our mentors. 

 This is my 22nd  full year teaching, I did take a break for a few years as our family was growing. As you all know WSES is one AMAZING school and I am so thankful to be part of such a wonderful family. Each day is a new adventure and I look forward to what this year will bring. 

 A little bit about my own family...there are 4 of us: myself, my husband Si, our older daughter Hailey, and our younger daughter Leah. We also have two rescue fur babies, Pepper and Cilantro.  Our family loves to spend time together playing games, being outside, as well as many other things. Around our house you often hear "GO WOLFPACK and Let's Go Canes!"
