Welcome! I am excited to begin my ninth year teaching and my fifth year here at Hickory Ridge High. Through a variety of differentiated and rigorous strategies, I hope to help each of your children reach their potential while becoming knowledgeable and active citizens. 

"A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron."

I am originally from Pennsylvania where I attended Bloomsburg University, majoring in History, Secondary Education, and Curriculum & Instruction. I have since lived in the greater Charlotte area for the last eight years, most recently having taught eighth grade American History at Hickory Ridge Middle School. An avid sports fan, you can find me after school coaching the HRMS football team.
 
I look forward to the start of the school year and meeting all of you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time or reference this page.

"The thing I loved the most, and still love about teaching, is that you can connect with an individual or a group, and see that individual or group exceed their limits."
