Hello and welcome to 4th grade! I am so excited to get to know you and to embark on this adventure together. I grew up in New York and have been living in North Carolina for nearly a decade. My husband and I love it here! We have two daughters who are still very little. Their names are Remi and Abbey. We also have a dog named Egg and two cats. When I’m not teaching, I am probably reading, hiking, or believe it or not, playing video games!

OCE is one of the most welcoming places I have ever walked into, and I cannot wait to welcome your student to 4th grade! I graduated from NC State with a degree in Elementary Education and also earned a horticultural certificate. I live in Cary with my husband, Ryan, our golden retriever named June, and our Siberian cat named Albus (Dumbledore!). Outside of school, I love to read books, spend time with my church family, travel, garden, and be outside! I consider it the greatest honor to be your child's teacher and can't wait to grow together over the year!

I am honored to be your homeroom teacher. I will also be teaching English Language Arts, partnering with Mr. Brown, who will be teaching Math & Science. This year is going to be full of fun and lots of learning! I look forward to working together to help 4th graders master all of the skills needed to be successful this year and in the future! I have been teaching for 18 years. This is my 1st year at Olive Chapel Elementary. Previously, I taught 1st, 4th, and 5th for the last 10 years. I have a Master’s Degree in Literacy from UNCG and have been Nationally Board Certified since 2015.
Outside of school, I live on the northeast side of Raleigh with a roommate who is in dental hygiene school. I visit my parents and my sister’s family often, who live in Wilmington and Myrtle Beach. I enjoy yoga, running, & coffee! I have visited over 14 countries, but have yet to step foot on the continents of Africa or Antarctica. I hope to see wild penguins one day; they are my favorite animal! I have been vegetarian for about 15 years and I love trying tasty new foods from different cultures. This year is going to be fantastic! I can’t wait to meet you all!
