This is my second year at Central Cabarrus and I have been teaching in North Carolina since 1996.  That year, with a new degree in Biology, a new teaching certification, and just married, I moved to Charlotte to start my teaching career.  I have taught at a wide range of schools and a wide range of subjects, but biology is my passion and I am happy to be at Central.  

Kate and Ellie are my two girls who are in high school and middle school respectively.  They attend Cannon School where their father is the Dean of Students.

I enjoy learning or trying new things.  Currently, I am learning hand embroidery, advanced techniques in Canvas and standards-based grading, and practicing Jiu-Jitsu and Yoga. I enjoy gardening and believe if you are not killing some of your plants you are not stretching yourself in your learning. 

And in full disclaimer mode, that profile picture is about 10 years old.  You can find classroom pictures on my Facebook Class Page.  (Please email me if you do not want your child photographed in class.)
