I attended Bryan College and earned a BA degree in Christian Education. At Queens University, I completed my Master's Degree in Teaching. I am the mother of six wonderful children. Three of them currently attend UA.  My two oldest children have completed college degrees and are chasing their career goals. My oldest daughter is attending college at Wingate University.  My husband is a Warranty Manager for a National Home Builder. We have three fur babies:  Mocha, Molly and Daisy. My first eight years of teaching were spent in a private school in Charlotte. I spent many years homeschooling my children in the first few years of their education. In 2008,  my oldest son was accepted into the UA lottery! After staying home for many years, I decided to start teaching again and was hired at UA. I started teaching Cardinals in 2014. I started as a substitute teacher and then joined the first grade team. I feel honored to teach in a school that focuses on Character, Education and Community Service.I look forward to investing in your child's life this year. I have a passion for reading and watching students learn brings me great joy. This year we will learn and grow together!
