About Me: Teaching is truly a gift, and I'm constantly growing to become better for the students I serve. This is actually my second career—and by far the most rewarding one. I believe in teaming up with a child’s first and most important teachers—their parents—to help guide them toward their age-appropriate goals and a lifelong love of learning.

When I find a few extra hours in the day, I love spending time with my amazing husband—my best friend-through all of life’s ups and downs. I also enjoy serving as a youth coordinator at my local church and unwinding with a relaxing lavender bubble bath.

My journey has taken me around the world as an oceanographer, brought me to live in the vibrant city of New Orleans, and now has me rooted in Raleigh, NC. When all is said and done, my greatest hope is to be remembered as a good and faithful servant.
