I am so excited and honored to be a part of the JY Joyner family. I became a teacher because I can't see myself doing anything else. I enjoy building relationships with students and watching them learn and grow socially, academically, and emotionally. I love teaching kindergarten and can’t wait to meet my new class! I grew up in Raleigh and went to Wake County Public Schools for elementary, middle, and high school. I graduated from Appalachian State University in Boone, in 2007 with a degree in Elementary Education. Go Mountaineers! My husband and I stay busy with our two sons, daughter, dog and 3 chickens. In my free time I enjoy reading, gardening, eating delicious food, and being outside. I am very excited about the upcoming year! By the end of the year, your child will be a sensational scientist, an awesome author, a marvelous mathematician, a social studies superstar, a radical reader, and so much more. I am looking forward to working together to have a successful year.

I love being a part of the JYJ family and Kindergarten team.  I grew up in Warren, Pennsylvania, a small, beautiful town.  I moved to NC to attend college at East Carolina University. Yes!  I am a proud pirate!  I graduated from ECU, in 1999, with my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Development.  I then obtained by K-6 degree.  I taught for 12 years in Morehead City, NC before becoming a part of the Joyner family.  I have a son and daughter who both attend Joyner. Outside of work, my family is my life.  I love doing anything outdoors with my children, running, hiking, reading and spending time with our beloved dog Stella. I absolutely love working with children.  I love to fuel their curiousity, encourage their love of learning and watch them grow.  I can not imagine a more rewarding job. I am so excited to begin a new and outstanding year. .
