Welcome to my webpage!

     I can't tell you how excited I am to teach 3rd grade again after 15 years! Being able to teach older children is a challenge that I am excited to do after teaching some of the same ones how to read, and write. I love that I will be able to see these young people come full circle! I can't wait to work with some of the same children and parents again!

     To tell you a little about me, I am a product of Caldwell County schools. I went to school here in Caldwell from Kindergarten through high school. I have my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Appalachian State University.  I have a Master's degree in Curriculum Instruction: Reading Education.

     About my family: My mother is a retired educator. She spent many years here at Gamewell Elementary.  My husband is also a teacher. He is currently teaching at a middle school in Caldwell County. I have two children who attended Gamewell Elementary. One is now a fifth year at Caldwell Early College High School! My oldest is a senior at Western Carolina University hybrid/online program. They have great ambitions or goals for themselves; they want to grow up to be a vet and engineer. I am so very proud of them! I want them to always dream big and always follow their heart!

     I am looking forward to spending the year with your child and having fun while we learn. I can't wait to use the things I learned last year while teaching online and also help your child learn as much as they can! They have the ability to learn, but they also have the ability to do great things. I think we will show everyone how we can do that together!
