EDUCATION:
Graduate Certificate in Teaching, UNC Charlotte (Charlotte, NC)

EXPERIENCE:
This is my 6th year of teaching and my 4th year at NBMS. I have also taught at Southwest Middle School and Onslow Virtual School.
ABOUT ME:
Like so many families in our community, I moved to Onslow County on military orders, and we decided to stay when my husband got out of the Marine Corps. I spend most of my time hanging out with my husband and our 4 dogs. I also love to read, eat tasty treats, and play video games.
