Hello! If you are looking at at this webpage, chances are you're in one of my classes this year. I am excited to have you here and I am looking forward to a year of learning! 

I received my master’s degree in teaching from UNCG and my bachelor’s degree in English from NC State. I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Language Arts as well as Reading Challenge and Creative Writing. This is my eighth year at River Mill and I am so happy to call it my second home! 

My husband and I live in Graham with our three year old daughter Lola, our 5 month old son Elijah, and our two cats, Zoey and Pumpkin. When I'm not teaching, I am either listening to true crime podcasts, reading mystery or dystopian novels, or spending time with my family.


Middle school is an exciting time of great personal and academic growth -- that means we need to support and encourage each other in every way that we can. In this classroom, we will love each other like family (because we're stuck with each other for the next 180 days, whether you like it or not!).

"Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody."
