I have worked at Kingswood for 15 years. I am originally from Ohio, but I also lived in Las Vegas for 5 years before moving to Cary in 1995. My education degree is from THE Ohio State University- Go Bucks! I enjoy watching sports, shopping, and going to the beach. My very first teaching experience was at a public Montessori school in Columbus, Ohio. 

This is my 14th year at Kingswood where I have been math coach, 3rd and 5th grade teacher, STEM teacher, AIG teacher, and intervention teacher. I grew up in North Carolina and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. majoring in Political Science and earning a Master of Arts in Teaching. I love hiking, exercising, reading, cooking, carpentry, and spending time with family. (And don't even get me started about Tar Heel basketball! - Last year was particularly fun)) I have 3 children and adopted a sweet, sweet dog in 2021. The most exciting thing I have ever done was jumping out of an airplane. I feel fortunate to get to work with amazing young people who always surprise me and teach me every day, so they're pretty exciting too.

I am new to Kingswood Elementary but not new to Wake County Schools. I substituted for several years, and for the previous 5 years I taught 4th grade at Mills Park Elementary. I have also taught for Durham Public Schools.

I graduated from University of Central Florida with my bachelor's degree, and I completed my master's degree at Meredith College. My son graduated from ASU in Boone, and my daughter is a senior in high school. My husband works down the road at SAS. We also have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and lots of fish in a koi pond. I am very excited to be at Kingswood this year as an interventionist. 

I am so excited to begin my second year as an Intervention Teacher here at Kingswood Elementary! A little about me, I grew up in Apex before moving to Greensboro for college in 2005. I graduated from UNC-Greensboro and taught in Guilford County for four years prior to moving back to my hometown of Apex. Most of my family lives up north and I enjoy traveling to visit them as often as I can. I especially love spending time with my two little nieces, Hadley and Lochlan. I also enjoy art, music, movies, and playing sports. I played softball, basketball and swam competitively growing up. I even played women's tackle football for five years as a young adult. Now, I just play the much slower paced game of slow pitch softball for the Town of Cary. I am looking forward to the 2022-2023 school year. Together we will make it a wonderful school year!
