I am a fourth-grade teacher at Cove Creek School. I was born and raised in Watauga County, attending Bethel Elementary, Watauga High School, and Appalachian State University. This is my 15th year teaching fourth-grade. I enjoy being a teacher and do not think of it as a career, but an important part of my life. I enjoy vacationing, riding 4-wheelers, shopping and having family time. Working in this community is a joy and I am thankful to be here. I have been richly blessed with a great husband and three special children, whom I try to spend all my spare time with. I look forward to spending the year teaching and learning with your children.
