This is my 6th year of teaching and my second year at Hickory Ridge. I previously taught 6th grade Math, Science,  & Social Studies in Raleigh, and 9th & 12th grade Science in Charlotte. I grew up in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, NC and I hold a degree in Elementary Education from UNC Charlotte and have since then extended my license to include Middle Grades Math & Science. I enjoy all things outdoors and spent part of my summer visiting Peru with my family, where one of my younger sister lives! I also greatly enjoy reading, DIY projects, Clemson Football and of course...the Carolina Panthers!
