This will be my 3rd year at Baucom Elementary! I grew up in New York and moved to North Carolina in 2015. Since then, I have taught 5th grade in WCPSS. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Childhood and Special Education from SUNY Geneseo and a Master’s degree in Math, Science, and Technology Education from St. John Fisher College. Additionally, I am certified in Academically or Intellectually Gifted Education and am a National Board Certified Teacher. In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, playing board games, and traveling.
