I graduated from East Carolina University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.  I have taught 2nd grade and 6th grade while also serving as a Digital Learning Coach at my previous schools.  My husband and I have recently made the permanent move to Watauga County and love our new home.  We have 2 grown daughters - our oldest, Haylee is a 2021 graduate of Appalachian State University and our youngest, Riley, is a freshmen at UNC Charlotte.

We enjoy spending time hiking and exploring with our Australian Shepherd, Joey, watching Carolina Hurricanes hockey, or working on DIY projects around our house.
