I have been an elementary teacher for the past 26 years - teaching grades Kindergarten, second, third, fourth, fifth, and AIG classes with a focus on literacy. I grew up in Lexington, attended Meredith College in Raleigh, and returned home to begin my teaching career.  

I am married to my high school sweetheart. He is a middle school teacher and coach and we have 2 boys - one in middle school and one in high school. 

This year I am a MTL (Master Teacher Leader) for Pickett Elementary.
