This is my fourth year in Onslow County Schools! I have taught fifth grade for four years and this is my third year of teaching third grade. I have a daughter named Valorie who is 2 years old. I enjoy spending time with my child and being outside in nature. I grew up in inner city Detroit Michigan and have also lived in Washington and Pennsylvania.  I have lived in jacksonville  North Carolina for about three years. I also have cows and chickens on the homestead and love caring for my animals outside of school. I come from a very large family and have seven brothers and three sisters. My favorite childrens author is Roald Dahl and I also enjoy reading biographies.
