Greetings! Welcome to a very exciting year with the TD department. I am excited be your child's TD teacher. I am a graduate of Appalachian State University and have always wanted to enter the teaching profession. I am originally from Charlotte and attended elementary, middle and high school here. I am entering my 9 full year of teaching. I began teaching in December of 2004. I have taught 1st grade for 3.5 years, 2nd grade for 3 years and 3rd grade for a year. This is my first full year as a TD teacher. I began teaching TD in October 2012. Before coming to Long Creek and Paw Creek, I taught at Huntingtowne Farms and Elon Park. I am excited to be part of the Long Creek and Paw Creek staff. I earned my National Board Teaching Certification in November 2007. I also earned my Masters in Executive Leadership at Gardner Webb. This will be a very exciting year. Your child is sure to stay busy but have fun! Finally, I am finishing up my AIG certification at Salem College.
I am the youngest of three children. I have two older brothers, one who lives in Athens, GA and the other one is in Nashville, TN. My oldest brother, Erik, is a professor at The University of Georgia. My middle brother, Alex, works in sales. My parents still reside in Charlotte and I see them quite often. I am also the proud aunt of two, Ben and Kate. Kate was born in March of '08 and Ben was born in June of '06 and I love spending time with them both. My niece just started kindergarten and my nephew just started second grade so I can't wait to follow their journey and hear their school stories!
I enjoy movies, shopping, going to the beach and mountains and just being with my friends in my free time. Every summer I head to Ocean Isle beach with 8 families that I grew up with here in Charlotte. We all lived on the same street and many of us have moved away all over the US (TX, PA, GA, MI, KY, NC) I also look forward to heading up to Boone, NC every year for Appalachian State's homecoming. I always enjoy returning to the mountains with my college friends. A few years ago I had the opportunity to travel to London. I had an amazing time over there. I would love to travel all over Europe and see more sites.
Please let me know how I can help you throughout the year. I am a firm believer that in order to make the year successful for everyone, there needs to be strong parent/teacher communication. I look forward to getting to know you and working with you and your child this year. Thank you for all your support and being part of our classroom. I am looking very forward to the excitement that this year will bring.
