I am so excited to continue being apart of this amazing team of staff, teaching technology to middle and high school students. I also get the privilege of training our staff on the new state-mandated program, Infinite Campus, and I am the school website designer.

This is my 12th year in teaching: I have been a teacher in the elementary setting for 10 years and a technology teacher to 5th-11th graders last year as well as this year. I graduated from East Carolina University in 2014 with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in reading. I found out how much I loved technology so I returned to the classroom, this time as a student, to receive my Masters Degree in Instructional Technology from Gardner Webb University in 2019.

I believe in the power of the word "yet." I teach my students from day 1 you may not be able to do something YET but if you keep persevering, at some point you will be able to. My favorite part of teaching is the relationships I get to have with my students. As long as students know they are loved and cared about, they can do and learn anything with time.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my nieces and nephews, designing and creating alongside my best friend for our small business (4:Fourteen Designs), being an auntie to my best friends sons, and working and serving at church. I also love the beauty of watching sunrises and sunsets.
