All About Me

I was born and raised in Kinston, North Carolina. After attending East Carolina University and earning a degree in Psychology, I realized my calling was teaching. I returned to college and began my teaching career. I have been at West Clayton Elementary for 17 years. I have seen so many changes in education through the years. I am so thankful to call WCES home and am honored to teach these students.

I am happily married to my husband and best friend, Tim. We share three beautiful boys ranging in age from 15 years to 27 years old. In our free time, we love to boat and fish. The beach is our favorite getaway.

I have enjoyed teaching all of my third, fourth, and fifth graders this year. I have sent home math materials and reading materials with my students so they can practice this summer. Please have them read for fun and to increase their reading skills. I look forward to next school year where we will reason and grow together!

I will miss my rising sixth graders and I will always be here at WCES if they need me. Best of luck to you all!

Updated Social Distancing Procedures

Information on social distancing in school settings has been recently updated by the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS). Upon receiving information from the NCDHHS, we consulted with the Johnston County Public Health Department on the impact these updates will have on our school system. This ongoing collaboration continues to guide our decision-making as students return to classrooms for in-person instruction.
