I am very excited to embark upon another great school year. My passion for teaching and learning has developed from spending the last several years in many diverse educational settings. My career began in business education in Florida, where I learned the importance of cooperative learning and emergent curriculum.  I am a certified exeptional education teacher where my strong passion for literacy, motivation and inspiration to create a fun and challenging learning environment for my students.  I have lived in North Carolina for four years enjoying the weather and beautiful mountains. During my free time I love to go to the beach and go hiking with my family.  Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to having a great year!
