Welcome Parents & Guardians. It is an honor to be your child’s 8th grade Homeroom/ELA/Social Studies teacher for the 2022-2023 school year.
I am from Charlotte, NC. I graduated from University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) with a bachelor's degree in History and Political Science. I also have a Master’s degree in Teaching in Middle Grades Social Studies from Fayetteville State University.

I am looking forward to the upcoming school year of working with you and your child. Make sure you add our class' Remind for updates and reminders. Check PowerSchool weekly for updated grades.
