I am excited to begin my twenty-first year of teaching! I had the privilege of teaching at East Clayton Elementary for fifteen years and now I am delighted to begin my sixth year at Cleveland! 

I am proud to be a Seahawk! I attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington where I received my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in psychology. I received my National Board Certification in 2010.

I grew up in Garner, NC and continue to live there with my family. I have been married to my wonderful husband, Nathan, for 19 years. We have an amazing twelve year old daughter named Avery (who is a 7th grader at Cleveland Middle!) and a precious nine year old son named Blake (who is a 4th grader at Cleveland!). They are gifts from God and such a blessing to us. Our family stays very busy... We planted LifePoint Church where Nathan serves as Pastor. We love ministering to the families of the Willow Spring community. We enjoy frequent trips to Wilmington... I LOVE spending time with my family!

I am honored to be your child's second grade teacher! I am dedicated to providing them with an environment that allows learning to be meaningful, engaging, and FUN! We will learn to work together and respect one another's differences. I believe that ALL children can learn and it is my responsibility to ensure that they do!!
