This is my fourth year teaching kindergarten at Peachland-Polkton Elementary School.  Previously, I taught kindergarten for six years at Morven Elementary School and third grade for one year at Chesterfield Elementary School in Morganton, NC.  My parents currently reside in Lenoir, NC.  I have lived in many parsonages across Western North Carolina.  I graduated high school from Fred T. Foard in Newton, NC, in 1992.  I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Appalachian State Unversity in Boone, NC, in 1996.  I graduated with a master's degree in Elementary Education from the University of NC at Charlotte in 2002.  I have been an AR for Anson County NCAE for 8 years.
