Welcome to Patriots!  I am a wife and mother of three boys.  My passions include raising my three young men, attending most of their sporting events, hanging out with friends, and running.  I have lived in North Carolina for over 25 years after moving here from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for college.  I worked 15 years in Information Technology, but decided to change careers after my sons started school.  Working with them ignited something in me.  Teaching is the best decision I have ever made.  This year, my focus is teaching ELA and Social Studies.  Although I will not be teaching Math or Science, they will be interrelated into the other subjects. My job is to provide a quality education that will keep your child engaged and having fun. I incorporate many PBL (Problem Based Learning) projects in every unit.  I look forward to spending the school year with your children!  Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
