Intervention Specialist

My name is Jennifer Cline and I have been a part of the Combs family since 2004.  I graduated from NC State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. I hold a K-6 teaching license from Meredith College and a Master’s Degree in Reading Education from NC State.   As you can tell, reading is my passion and instilling a love for literacy in children is my mission here at Combs.  In my spare time I enjoy running, yoga, spending time with my husband and 2 daughters, and curling up with a good book.

My name is Janitta Davis. I grew up in Greenville, NC, before relocating to Raleigh, NC. I earned my Master’s in School Administration and Curriculum Instructional Specialist licensure from East Carolina University. I also hold a Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education with Birth–Kindergarten Licensure and an Associate Degree in Human Services. I began my journey in education in 2008 and have dedicated my career to building strong, meaningful connections with students and their families. I believe that when schools and families work together, we create the most powerful foundation for student growth and success. 

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two daughters, family, and friends. I love listening to music, shopping, cooking, and traveling with my family. I am honored to be part of the Combs community and to work alongside such an amazing team of educators. I am committed to providing every child with a loving, supportive, and developmentally sound environment that inspires a lifelong love of learning.

In my free time, I love traveling with my family and friends, the beach, baking, going on walks with our puppy Cooper, cheering for my kids swimming, and reading historical fiction and romcoms.
