I have been teaching at Baileywick since 2010 and originally began my career as a kindergarten teacher.  After 8 years, I decided to follow my passion of helping develop language skills in English language learners after receiving my Master’s Degree in Teaching ESL from Meredith College.  I am originally from Ottumwa, Iowa but moved to North Carolina in 2009.   In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and hiking with my husband and daughter.
