I began teaching at Baton Elementary School in 2001, after graduating from Appalachian State University. I have earned my Master's Degree in Elementary Education, and I am a Nationally Board Certified teacher. I enjoy hiking and vacationing at the beach and mountains. I have two boys, and I love cheering them on in sports. My heart and passion is teaching in the Caldwell County public school system. I look forward to having a great school year with you!
