Mrs. Moore: I am a wife mother and a passionate teacher. Although teaching is my second go at finding my dream job, I love what I do. Originally from Wilmington North Carolina, the beach is my happy place. I graduated from UNC Charlotte with a degree in Early Childhood Literature and English. After a few years of office work I went back and obtained a dual license in Special Education and Elementary education from William Peace University.
