Experience
I began my teaching career as a 7th Grade Social Studies Teacher at Maiden Middle School in 2013/14. Subsequently, I made my way to Gamewell Middle where I am about to begin my 6th year as a Special Education teacher. Additionally, I also serve as the football and girls soccer head coach.I am a proud graduate of Appalachian State University.

Why I Became an Educator
Growing up, I never imagined or desired to be a teacher. But as I was going through college I slowly, yet steadily ,began to realize that my true vocation and calling was that of helping young people mature as well as expand their cultural horizons. I absolutely mean it when I say that walking though that door at Gamewell every morning is still the greatest honor ever bestowed upon me.
