I am a Kindergarten teacher and have been for the last seven years.  Prior to that, I taught first grade for many years. I have really enjoyed my time in Kindergarten because it is such an important year.  Students come into Kindergarten at so many different levels and leave Kindergarten reading!!

I was born and raised in Watauga County and attended ASU. I have a Master's Degree in Reading.  Therefore, reading is my love.   I have a wonderful husband and a daughter who is in third grade this year.  I have three dogs at my house that keep me quite busy!  My family enjoys camping, gardening, going to the park, and antique shopping together!   Teaching seems like a hobby rather than a career because it is so much fun coming to work each day!
