I was born in Oklahoma, moved to Alabama, Florida, Greensboro, North Carolina where I have spend a majority of my life. I moved a way a few times but NC always pulls me back. This summer we moved to New Bern. I have been married for 12 years and have a daughter who is attending Bangert in third grade. I received my Masters in Elementary Education in 2006 and have taught kindergarten and first grade since then minus 2 years I stayed home with my daughter, Savanna. Teaching is my passion and I love to help children learn how to read. In my free time I love to do yoga, be by the water, spending time with family and watch HGTV (I am hooked). I try to keep life fun and exciting by learning new things any chance I get. This summer I mastered the art of paddle boarding.
