My name is Jamie Tyler and I was raised all over the world.  My dad served in the military for 30 years and I came to North Carolina to attend college at East Carolina University…Go Pirates!  I began my career as a teacher 16 years ago and have happily spent the last nine years in Johnston County as a teacher and administrator.  I received my administration degree from North Carolina State University and served as the Assistant Principal at Powhatan Elementary before coming to East Clayton Elementary.

My name is Emily Batchelder and I was born and raised in New York. I am the daughter of educators and attended the University of Massachusetts, Amherst for my undergraduate studies. I have been in education for more than 18 years and have worked at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. I have a passion for the sport of gymnastics, and was a USA competitor for 12 years. I earned my Master’s Degree in Educational Administration and my Doctorate in Instructional Leadership. I came to North Carolina from the Washington, DC area where I was a school administrator for several years. My family moved to NC 4 years ago and I am very excited to be part of Team East Clayton!
