About: A native of North Carolina, I graduated from Belmont Abbey College in 2012 with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education. I have taught in sixth, fifth and my personal favorite, third grade over the last 8 years. I love spending time with my two children, Kaitlyn (18) and Drew (14). I also enjoy caring for my 8-year-old bearded dragon, Geronimo. In my spare time, I love to find activities or workouts to do outdoors or work at my part-time job at a golf course.
