I am originally from the Northern Virginia area, just outside of Washington, D.C. I came to North Carolina to attend school at East Carolina University (GO PIRATES!). I loved NC so much, that I have been here ever since. :)

 At ECU I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.  I have taught for over 17 years mostly in Kindergarten and First Grade. When I am not teaching, I love to exercise, go to the beach, paddleboard, watch football, cheer on my Pirates, and spend lots of time with my family!
