Hi! I have had the pleasure of teaching K-2 since August 2007. I have a stong passion for equal education for ALL students, combined with a big heart for children, and the patience to teach others.  I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education (K-6) at East Carolina University.  My heart has always belonged to the primary grades because I believe that it's important to set a foundation to inspire students during the beginning years of a their development. Can't wait to meet you!

My name is Mrs. Nguyen (pronounced "Win") and I am so lucky to be a part of the kindergarten team at York Elementary.  I am a graduate of Coastal Carolina University and Clemson University and have been in education since 2002.  During my career, I have taught kindergarten through third grades and was a school counselor for a few years as well.  I got married in February of 2020.  I have a wonderful blended family with three children between the two of us.  Outside of school I love to hike, cook, travel, and read. I also LOVE polka dots and all things pink.

I am in my fifth year at York Elementary as an Instructional Assistant. I earned my Bachelor's degree from UNC-Greensboro.  I am married and have three wonderful children who keep me very busy.  I love going to the beach with my family and watching my kids play soccer.  I can't wait to get to know all the new students this year!
