About Me
Welcome to 1st grade at Oakview Elementary School! I am so excited that I get to be part of your child's life this year! First grade is chopped full of smiles and giggles, collaboration and creativity, high levels of learning and engagement, and lots and lots of love!
A little bit about me...I'm originally from Texas, but I'm a Tennessee girl by heart, as we moved to Johnson City, TN when I was 9 years old. I graduated from East Tennessee State University with a specialization in Early Childhood Development. After graduating I spent a year in both Florida and Tennessee teaching, and then moved to North Carolina, where I have been for the last 20 years. I've taught for 22 years total, always in first or second grades. I love seeing the spark for learning with my "Firsties" and wouldn't trade it for the world. I am a National Board Certified teacher and have my Master's degree in Reading.
I've been married to my husband for 20 years, and we live in Holly Springs. We have 2 four- legged babies named Fluff and Puff who create all kinds of chaos in our household that my Firsties will hear lots about!
I'm looking forward to an amazing year together!
