I was born in Wilmington, Delaware and grew up in Marlton, New Jersey. I have a degree from UNC- Charlotte. I have lived in Raleigh since 1996. I love to paint and have been turning to art for comfort for as long as I can remember! I began creating art for family, friends and the general public as an adult and it brings me such joy to emotions into art. I am excited to see you in the Green Art Room! 

Hello! My name is Mrs. McKenna and I am the School Librarian Media Coordinator/Tech Contact at Green! I am from South Korea and have lived in Durham since 2005. I worked at both public and school libraries for 12 years. I have an amazing, supportive husband and two cute, energetic sons. I love to cook spicy food, play the ukulele, and watch movies in my free time. This is my 3rd year of teaching at Green, and I believe that we will explore a reading forest and technology castle together!

My name is Jon’Nesha Stevens and I am excited to begin my tenth year of teaching here at Green! I was born and raised in East Tennessee. Then, I moved to Nashville, TN to study music and education at Fisk University. While at Fisk, I successfully auditioned to become an Alto 1 in the world renowned Negro Spiritual ensemble, The Fisk Jubilee Singers. For the next four years, we toured nationally and internationally performing for elementary schools, colleges, professional organizations, and dignitaries such as Maya Angelou, many professional artists, and former President George W. Bush. I graduated in 2010 and began my masters study that same year. In 2012, I earned a Master of Music in Choral Music Education from Bowling Green State University then began teaching for the Wake County Public School System. As a music teacher it is my goal to inspire students to be their most creative and musical selves. I cannot wait to explore awesome music with you this year!
