I am delighted to be a part of the AB Combs team! I earned my degree in Elementary Education with a STEM concentration from North Carolina State University (Go Pack!). I grew up in Raleigh and have always been passionate about cultivating a love for learning in students. Outside the classroom, I enjoy going to the beach, rooting for the Wolfpack, watching Disney movies, and enjoying quality time with loved ones. Being a member of this inspiring community is a true privilege, and I look forward to fostering an environment where all students can flourish.

My name is Krista Dingess. I grew up in Cary, North Carolina, where I attended WCPSS schools from Kindergarten through 12th grade. I graduated from North Carolina State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education with a STEM concentration. I completed my student teaching in second grade at A.B. Combs in 2020 and served as the Building Substitute in 2021. In my free time I love to attempt the latest Do-It-Yourself Project, explore new places with my husband and dog, Beau, and teach dance lessons for K-12 students. Since being introduced to the 7 Habits, it has made an incredible impact on my life, and I look forward to seeing that same impact on my students. 

My name is Kianna Johnson and I am originally from Charlottesville, Virginia. I moved to Raleigh in 2019 and graduated from NC State with a Bachelors in Education. I come from a big blended family and have always loved working with kids and building community. While in college, I had the opportunity to travel aboard and intern in various schools to help nurture the teacher I am today. I am very playful and enjoy spending quality time with the people I love! I enjoy art, sports, and nature but most importantly love being a part of and building a community. My teaching career began in 2023 and I am more and more excited to continue this journey at AB Combs!

I have been part of the Combs family since 2014, teaching both 2nd and 3rd grade. I lived in Charlotte before moving to Raleigh to attend North Carolina State University, where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in STEM. After completing my student teaching experience at Combs, I knew I had found a school that felt truly like home. 

I live in Cary with my husband, son, and goldendoodle. When I am not in the classroom, I can be found searching for the best new restaurant or coffee shop, exploring every playground in the area with my son, taking long family walks, or catching up with friends and family. Teaching is my passion, and I look forward to sharing it with my students so that they may also recognize their own worth and potential. 

My name is Lindsey Stogner and I am delighted to be teaching 3rd grade here at AB Combs! I am from Clayton, NC and graduated from East Carolina University(Go Pirates!) with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a concentration in reading. I student taught in 3rd grade in Johnston County and began my teaching career in 2021. In my spare time I enjoy reading, doing yoga, baking, and spending time with my friends and family. I look forward to this coming school year with my students and I hope to help them realize their potential as leaders. 

Mrs. Webb is a proud product of the Wake County Public School System, attending Stough, Martin, and Broughton! After earning her degree in Early Childhood Education, she taught toddler and pre-k students for over 15 years before stepping away from education to stay home with her son, Liam. When Liam became a KinderGator, she fell in love with Combs, and the following year, she began her own Combs journey as a part-time instructional assistant in the Pre-K classroom. While at Combs, Mrs. Webb attended William Peace University and obtained her NC teaching license. She is currently working on her Masters of Urban Education at UNC-Charlotte. When she’s not at school, Mrs. Webb spends as much time as she can with her husband, son, dog, cats, and chickens. She is also an avid reader and crafter and can often be found in her favorite chair, reading a good book or crafting while listening to an audiobook.
