I am a Carolina girl through and through.  Although I was born in South Carolina,  I have lived here in Concord (or neighboring county) all my life. I have been married to my best friend, Luke, for 4 years. My husband and I love to try new restaurants and visit our families on the weekends. We have two sweet and amazing dogs: Luna and Lola. Both of my girls are rescues. We love to travel and our favorite place is Charleston!!!

 

This will be my 15th year teaching.  All of my previous years have been here at Odell.  I have taught 3rd and 4th grades.  I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a degree in Elementary Education.  Teaching has always been my dream job.  It is such a joy to get to work with kids and watch them learn.  My favorite part is seeing the hard work and effort pay off. I truly believe every child can learn with the right support and environment, which is what I strive for in my classroom. 

A few of my favorites: Dunkin Donuts coffee, Amazon, Chilis, any Mexican restaurant, watching Netflix/Hulu, and Target.  

**Fun Fact:  I went to Odell along with my father and grandparents**
