About: In college I earned a bachelor's degree in integrative arts. After moving to North Carolina, I returned to school to study elementary education. My seventeen years of classroom teaching experience includes...kindergarten, first grade, second grade, fourth grade and one year as a second and third grade intervention teacher!

Being a teacher at Washington is important to me - I enjoy helping students find their gifts and talents while working with teachers with many gifts and talents of their own! While away from the classroom, I spend time with my family and make room for reading.

Alumni: Penn State
