I began teaching in 1992 after graduating from Elon College with a Education Middle School degree in Mathematics and Social Studies. I then continued my education at Elon University and obtained my M. Ed. in Gifted Education. I am passionate about helping students reach their greatest potential and learning from those around them. My pedagogy consists of students becoming intentional with their own learning as I engage them based on their own interests and passions. I have been married for 24 years and have three beautiful children, whom I adore. I love to sing at church, sew, decorate and spend time with my family.
