Hello! I am so excited to be returning to Stateside for the 2020- 2021 school year!  I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself.  I grew up in a small town in rural Iowa and I'm the youngest of my siblings.  I graduated from the University of Iowa with a BA in Elementary Education. Go Hawks!  I moved to North Carolina in 2013 and love living so close to the coast!  I have two fur babies- a black lab named Bailey and a cat named Bitty Baby.  This will be my eighth year teaching in the fourth grade.  I cannot wait to get to know your families and am looking forward to an amazing year!
