Welcome to 7th grade English Language Arts and Social Studies!  

Dr. Seuss once wrote, “"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."

Life has taken me many places.  As a child, I lived in Germany and Italy which allowed me to travel around Europe.  I have also been to Central America and hope to return one day soon.  I enjoy learning, seeing new places, and trying new things.   For this reason, travel has always been something I loved.

I am the girl’s soccer coach for my fourth season.  I grew up playing soccer and played for ten years.  My primary position was goalie.  Coaching is one of my favorite things!  I am also a black belt in Taekwondo and compete a few times a year.  I enjoy the exercise and competition of sports and look forward to working with your children both in the classroom and on the soccer field! 

I graduated from Westlake High School in Maryland.  Then, spent time fumbling through life before I finally buckled down and complete my education.  I went to college at Johnston County Community College and the continued on to North Carolina State University. I currently reside in Clayton with my wife, seven children, two dogs, and two cats.  This is the start of my sixth year teaching, my third year at Meadow.  Go Indians!
