I am a Meredith College graduate with a degree in Child Development and also K-6  teaching certification.  I have taught at Wendell Elementary for 30 years and absolutely love the small town atmosphere and families that live here.  I have lived in Zebulon all of my life, but Wendell is definitely my second home.  My family is very important to me.  I am married to Tony and have two wonderful children, Evan and Lillie.  When I'm not at WMES, I enjoy spending time with my family and the beach and the mountains.  Teaching young children is such a joy to me and I love seeing children grow and learn every day. 

I am a Meredith College graduate with a degree in Psychology as well as my K-6 License to teach.  I also have my Academically and Intellectually Gifted License from UNC-C.  I have been teaching for over 20 years.  Wendell Elementary became my school family many years ago when our oldest started kindergarten.  My husband and I love all things Wendell and raising our 3 boys here.  In my spare time I love spending time at the beach, reading and most of all cheering my boys on in the sports they play.  Teaching is my dream come true and what I have known I wanted to do since I was a little girl.  All children have their own SMARTS and I love to nurture them!

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and laughing with my friends! Teaching gives me such joy and I love watching little minds growing in creativity and brilliance!
