My birthday is just around the corner. I am a wife and mom of 5. I enjoy pretty much anything that involves traveling and creativity. I like “window shopping” while drinking anything non-coffee flavored from Starbucks!  I graduated from East Carolina University. Go, Pirates! This will be my 14th year teaching.

I'm a native of Rocky Mount and have been teaching in the Nash County area for 21 years.  I've taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades including all subjects.  I also spent several years as an Instructional Coach for the district.  I'm now exploring a new venture as a virtual teacher for NEDA.  It's an exciting journey, one that I look forward to exploring with all of my students, families, and friends.
