I entered the Caldwell County School System in August 1993 teaching first grade at Sawmills Elementary School. Since that time, I have been blessed to serve my entire career at Sawmills with amazing staff and students. I received my Elementary Education Degree from Appalachian State University in May of 1993. I am a National Board Certified teacher. I have taught every grade level here at Sawmills, except for kindergarten and fourth grades. It is a wonderful place to work and I hope to finish my career in this place.
