Hello everyone! I am thrilled to be part of the York family! I hail from a green and leafy town called Sevenoaks in the UK and am delighted that 3 years ago my adventures brought me to green and leafy Raleigh, the City of Oaks. I have been teaching since 2013, including several years teaching across all elementary grades in Hong Kong and Seoul, South Korea. I am passionate about making the learning journey an exciting one for the kiddywinkies in my care. When I am not in the classroom, you will find me kayaking on the lake, covered in paint for my latest art project, or pandering to the whims of my cats (Jasper and Marvelous). This is going to be a fantastic academic year and I look forward to meeting you!

I'm so excited about another great year at York!  I’ve spent the last 17 years teaching K-4th grade in WCPSS.  I love helping children become passionate about learning and building self-confidence as learners.  My husband and I are from opposite ends of PA and have spent the past 27 years living in N.C.  We have raised two wonderful daughters in the WCPSS. We love to enjoy the natural beauty of the state.  We hike the many trails in N.C. with our dog Murphy, boat on Falls Lake with our daughters, can seasonal fruits and vegetables from the N.C. State Farmers Market, and try new recipes together. I’m looking forward to another great year in 1st grade!

I grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland. I earned both my Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Elon University. I have had the pleasure of teaching K-2 for 17 years. I love working with young students because I know how important a strong foundation is for their future. I have a daughter who is also going to be a bulldog this year and a 3-year-old son. I enjoy reading, exercising, and traveling. I am so excited to join the York family and I can’t wait to meet all of you!

Hello York! I am an NC State graduate with a degree in Elementary Education and a STEM Concentration. In my free time, I love spending time at the beach, going to concerts, and being with my family. I was lucky enough to be a part of the York community as a student teacher in first grade last year. I am so excited to be an official bulldog! I look forward to getting to know you and your family throughout the school year!

Hello Families! I have the pleasure of teaching and learning from your children this year!  This is my 23rd year of teaching. I am originally from Albany, N.Y. My family and I moved to Raleigh fifteen years ago. When we are not home playing with our Bernese Mountain dog Bailey, you can find us at the beach! We love to visit Wrightsville  and Myrtle, as well as the Outer Banks! We have a daughter who is a freshman in college. My hobbies include reading, cooking and decorating.  I look forward to an exciting year engaging your child(ren) in engineering and fail forward mindset!

Hello York family, I am thrilled to be joining your school this year! I'm from the vibrant city of Bristol, England and moved to the US in 2021. I'm so happy to call Raleigh my new home. I live here with my husband and our cat named Nip. My family dog growing up was an English Bulldog named Billy, so I feel right at home here at York! Go Bulldogs! I love nothing more than dancing, crafting and making yummy food in my spare time. I cannot wait to meet you and see what this year brings! 

Hello York Community!

I'm so excited to have joined the 1st grade team here at YES as an instructional assistant. To tell you a little bit about myself, I was born in Southeast Florida in a (not so little anymore) town called Stuart. I started working at an elementary school in Florida as an instructional assistant while I was living in Tampa. I absolutely fell head over heels for the job. Knowing that I could have a positive impact on the lives of students is what drove me to further pursue a career in education and landed me at the beautiful campus of York. I am enlivened by seeing the growth and development of every single scholar that passes through our doors. I am even more excited to be a part of the wonderful family that I am very blessed to have stumbled into. Thank you for your warm welcome. Let's go Bulldogs!
