I joined the faculty of UA in 2020 but have been a UA parent since 2015.  Before UA, I spent 5 years working for a virtual charter school where I worked remotely teaching students across the state as well as developing curriculum resources.  I also worked in the county public schools for many years.

I received my undergraduate degrees at Emory & Henry College in Emory, VA.  I attended graduate school at UNC-C and UNC-W for my graduate degrees and certifications.

My husband, Matthew, and I live in Monroe with our three boys who all attend UA.  We all love to travel, visit Universal Orlando, and play silly board games together.  My husband and I are avid escape room players and have played about 200 rooms across the east coast.

I am very excited to start another year at UA! I came to Union Academy in 2014 and have enjoyed growing here as both a teacher and a person. I am originally from the eastern side of the state and I attended East Carolina University for both my BS and MAEd in History Education.  As a classroom teacher, I enjoyed incorporating technology into my daily lessons and look forward to helping the staff at Union Academy do the same.
